Default Roughly $1000 to blow...

I figure I will have about $1000 come mid January to blow on upgrading my suspension. I am in no way an autocross guy but I love launching/strip/highway pulls. I really likelevel 1 drag race package minus/plus a few things. What are some opinions? I know a decent amount about suspension but would like personal experience/advice. Thankseveryone

Not to sidetrack here...but what happened to the supercharger and driveshaft you were interested in? That $1G would make a nice dent in a supercharger purchase...

If you do not autocross then watts link would not be my first choice( I want one though). I like my Extreme lower control arms as an option but I would suggest tofind an upper a lower set of rearcontrol arms from the same manufacturer. Set up you pinion angle for inproved launches. Also, an aluminum driveshaft would reduce some weight and give you a little more kick in the pants.

I am getting the D/S over the holidays as well but will have $1000 for the suspension: Here is a more narrowed down list of what I am thinking about:
1) Tokico D-Specs
2) BMR Rear Sway Bar
3) BMR Upper Control Arm
4) BMR LCAs
5) BMR Panhard

I was wondering if someone would add or subtract something from this list

Here are the MUST haves:

1) BMR Upper Control Arm

3) BMR ADJUSTABLE Panhard

I'd subtract the first two. Based on what you said you want to do, the improvement over what you already have would be minimal, maybe not even noticeable.

I am definitely getting the adjustable panhard Toby, I read up on that pretty thoroughly. My predicament is to just get the tubular adjustable panhard or the Chrome Moly Adjustable Panhard w/rod ends (don't know if this is necessaryor not). Im getting tubular LCA's (non-adjustable) with the adjustable UCA. Where is the UCA mount?
