Moroso trick front and rear drag springs. lakewood 50/50's in rear and 90/10's up front. qa1 k-member and a arms. no sway bar. would i be torque boxes already welded, already have sub frames and lca's. would i be better off the 70/30's up front. how about leaving the sway bar on? thanx for the info.

Leave the sway bar ON for street/daily driving....90/10's are not really streetable either, but what I consider streetable may be different to a hard core drag racer...

so 70/30's would be a better bet. how big of a diff. is there from the 2. is it really that noticeable

as long as you know its limitations then you should be fine (dont thing you can take sharp turns at 50mph)

As long as you know the limitations it should be ok. On my 87GT I had Lakewood 90/10's, 4 cylinder front springs, no sway bar, and BBK control arms. It handled like a school bus but was fine for normal driving. I kept things very easy on the street. I would never go back to that type of set-up for a street car since my willingness to sacrifice for the good of racing has dramatically decreased.

Cheers
Luke

I'd say you could be ok, just like everyone said you're car will be a straight line car so don't try anything stupid
