Ok lemme know if this makes sense... Since I dont hook up well with the stock shocks and hotchkis lowereing springs I figure I would get some different shocks and springs like maybe the global west front and rear adjustable ride height kits and some sort of adjustable shock absorberfor the rear. Adjustable rided height so I can lower down for looks and handling and maybe raise it up some and adjust the shocks the shocks for drag racing. Is there any way to do this for a grand about???

I don't see what type of tires you have. Tires are the first and best suspension modification you can make. A decent set of drag radials or ET Streets can make all the difference in the world. Then lose the front sway bar and just do the front shocks (loose).

Always take a good look at the starting line. Avoid shiny spots. Try to follow cars with slicks. Do a solid burnout. Work on the basics and find a good baseline before throwing money st suspension mods.

A bunch of suspension stuff came on the car and I have nitto 555r's and cold they arent worth that much more than the eagle gs-c's I replaced them with, I have yet to heat them up and do a launch. Thing is I dont want to remove my sway bar since I want handling as well thats why I was thinking of the adjustable ride height.
