depends on your plans, but either way it really dont matter because the stock rear setup is junk anyways.. so any upgrade is better than none.. I have buddies who run 10's on the M&M rear suspension setups... i.e. the torque arm, panhard bar and heavy duty lca's; sounds like those things would pretty much complete your suspension.

Forgot to mention I got maxim motorsports adjustable lower control arms I was leaning for a torque arm but thought I might put that money into the motor instead for now I was planning on hitting 13s and I have 3:73 gears in the rear end

You already removed your front sway bar so sounds like you are looking for a drag suspension, I would look into TeamZmotorsport, Wolfe or Baseline rear suspensions with anti roll bar and strange struts and shocks.

Thanks for the input guys think in going with strange shocks and struts for now

Team z for straight line ftw

Maximum Motorsport for twisties ftw

Will adding a strut tower be pointless since I removed my sway bar?

mega bite jrs...that should have been the first mod to suspension

everything else does "not much"
