ask sheldon(turbo302) for a price, he can set you up with a cool suspension setup as wel. I am running the HPM Megabite rear suspension now and I used to have MM full legth subframes that worked great on my last car!

For good 60 ft times, gears and slicks will give you the best bang for the buck. Be sure to upgrade your axels if and when you snap one though [Smile]

That is a question that is better left to people who have made numerous suspension mods and can tell you from personal experience. Brands on sub frames really don't matter.

The first 5 things to do would be to learn to drive with the stock stuff and slicks.

I'm 100% serious.

To prevent damage (permanent) to your car you will need at least full length subframes, the thicker the steel the better.

On my notch i used mm f/l subframes, frpp "c" springs, kyb's, mm cc plates and strut brace as well as the x2c upper and lowers ( not on yet ). this set up was inexpensive and rides nice.
