Hello I have a 92 LX all stock suspension currently. I already have H&R lowering springs not sure which ones but the ones that H&R assured me wouldn't affect the ride (.75 in the front and 1.25 in the rear?), kyb struts and shocks, 3.73 rear gears with stock axels and diff. T5 from D&D. Brodix ST50 heads stage 1, port matched Systemax upper and lower and custom ground cam from Fox Lake.

I'm looking for a car that will hook up well for weekend drag racing but won't kill me for handling on the street.

I'm thinking a good 275 DR, upper and lower control arms? I'm on a budget and not sure how aggressive I need to get with the rear suspension, but I'm looking for some advice from real world experience.

With +/- 320rwhp will I need to upgrade axles and the diff?

Thanks!

I put Maximum Motorsports rear lower control arms and used the stock upper. I also put a panhard bar also. You should be fine not upgrading the rear, but I did because I wanted to upgrade to rear discs. A good set of lower control arms and some good tires should let you hook real nice.

I used eibach drag springs in mine and summit upper and lower control arms, driving was good and 60ft times were in the 1.66-1.72 times

275 dr, control arms, full subframe connectors and good shocks and struts should get it out of the hole good for not have drag suspension
