    ok so here's what i have decided let me know what you think. KYB GR2's, stock front springs, zzp lower control arms if i can justify spending that much on them, w-body store rear heightening springs, cable mod(that ****s way easy and seems smart) does anyone know if the kyb's still have the piece that goes across to tie off the cable to?
    and whats this about LSD? as in limited slip diff?
    also has anyone on here used toyo proxis drag radials? I'm doin a turbo build and need some GOOD sticky tires so if you dont know anything about these do you know of some drag radials?

    If this car is going to be driven on the streets then do not get the zzp lca's, I think even says on the site that they are for track use. There was some don Rome control arms that added extra bracing to stock ones but I don't much more info than that.

    Yes limited slip differential. It's basically the same as the intense LSD but put together better. http://www.engineered.net/

    I think they are the same but I'm not sure.

    You know I'm actually not sure, he had one ready to ship when I ordered it but I think it's the street one. Ill have to look at my emails to him.

    Do the cable mod first and go from there.

    Driver mod and tires will be the most valuable here.

    Yup email him or call, I emailed and he got back to me pretty quickly. Looking back in my emails we didn't mention which one it was so I'm assuming its the street version.

    The cable mod you want it tight so that when you lower the car back down the rear stays up. All struts for our cars should have that hole in them, it's the hole for the sway bar link if you were using the strut on the other side. Yes the cable mod needs to be done at the track and taken out before you drive home. Otherwise you'll have little control of the rear end. Get some hoosers, I don't think that's how you spell it, slicks and put them on a set of torque stars and you'll be at a good start. Learn how to hook with them and you'll be in good shape.

    There's a track prep thread on here somewhere, maybe in the how to section, read that over a few times.

    I used the cable mod a few times at the track. It was extremely annoying to drive the car.
