I know that suspension has an assload to do with what times you run at the track. I was thinking about upgrading mine to help me out a bit, since I haven't started really modding my engine yet. What would you guys consider to be the most important/helpful suspension mods for lowering my ET?

I have sportlines and BBK c/c plates. Does that help or hurt me?

I'd like to get low 12's eventually. Nothing spectacular, but a nice quick street car

doesnt really matter, i have the adjustable so i can fine tune the height for the perfect stance.

Wanna Go Faster, Do the Weight Reduction Mod..... This will make a HUGE difference.

the only problem with a dr or slick is that it is too sticky and might snap the puny stock axles.

one other thing, with the non-adjustable control arms, will the height be the same as it is now, or lower. I don't really understand how or why they help suspension that much so could somebody enlighten me.

The basic stuff would be spare tire/jack, rear seats, and any junk you got in your trunk.

Tires.
Disconnected front swaybar.
Practice.

My friend has run 10.25 @ 141 on Eibach Pros so you shouldn't have to worry too much about springs. :)
