Many people have suggested that I get aftermarket ones. I'm planning to do new drag shocks and struts and the Eibach drag springs and was going to do the LCA's while I was in there anyways.

On the other hand, Many people have Many mods and still run slower than people with Many less mods ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Remove the front sway bar, add gears and slicks, mix in a good dose of practice and 1.6X 60 fts on a prepped track should be the norm.

I would do this but the shocks and struts are so worn out that the rear drops and then bounces a lot when I launch (got it on video). What do you think I should do about that?

More often than not, I see people that modify the factory suspension, harm traction more than help it. If you have the money, go with a complete suspension kit like the wolfe racecraft stuff. If not, considering replacing the worn stock stuff with stock replacement parts and putting the rest of the money elsewhere. Drag shocks/struts/control arms will cost you damn near the price of some TFS aluminum heads ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Boxed SVO upper's do wonders for controling the rear.
I haven't seen any improvement from the addition of aftermarket lowers...unless the stock bushings are toast.
Perhaps the wheel hop is due to worn quad-shocks.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to think about it.
(Sawson: I never really thought of it that way, but now that I do, it's true )

my recommendation is:
stay far, far away from SSM lift bars (although they do give a great 60'), but get HPM mega bite jr's. I bought mine used for $120, not exactly BLING*Bling* but they get the job done. remove the quad shock while you're in their. Mad 2-3 lbs. of weight savings right where you don't want it ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
