Suspension: What would u do?
Here is my suspension so far.
KYB gas-a-just shocks and GR2 Struts
Lakewood Lower Control Arms
16x8 upgrade w/ Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's 255/50/ZR16
Edelbrock 3 point Strut Tower Brace
Hawk HPS Brake Bads, Rotor just turned
Thats what I have so far. Now what would u do in order or next? I am thinking subframe connectors but I want the spohn's if they EVER come out. I am not sure on the sway bars, I know I want 36mm front and 24mm rear but which brand to go for and what else would be worth it? It is my daily driver but I don't drive it in the winter or rain. So what woudl you do next if this was your current suspension. Thanks

I was in the same situation as you and I have a friend that runs low 9's in a 85 just like mine. He said to use the SSM Lift Bars Kit from Summit. It's nearly $500 but it is the best. He has tried all and they work the best. It comes wiht a crossmember, driveshaft loop, subframe connectors, and lift bars! That's what I am going to buy.

Just a nice handling daily driver. I don't drive it in the winter or rain though. I think I am gonna go with the Global West SFC's first but I am not sure if they will clear a full 3" exhaust system including Edelbrock TES HEaders with the 3" collector.
