right now its a stock suspension 93gt 5spd with 15x4 and 15x8 draglites motor has alot of bolt-ons (still stock cam and heads)
plans are

upper and lower torque box reinforcement kit
steeda steel adj upper control arms
steeda steel lower control arms
steeda subframe connectors

ditch front sway bar

after this will be a new tailshaft bushing in trans and aluminum driveshaft

i drive the car once or twice a week to work and it will see the local test/tune at the local 1/8th mile strip from time to time
and beat up some imports as i run into them lol

also does aftermarket control arms affect ride quality much and if it does in what way is it affected

first thing if your going with new uppers and lowers get solid mounts. weld the tourque boxes up. then put the battle boxes in. change you back springs to moroso drag lanch springs. with adj. shocks. and frame conn. also put some 90/10 in the front. not shore what tranny you got but if its a c-4 go with a 373 gear if its a t-5 go with a 410 gear. then get a piece of crome molly and bend it in to a flat u shape. take the front bumper out and slide the piece of tubing in it's place and weld it in! that removes about 15lbs off the nose yet your still safe on the street.
p.s. if you run soild mount uppers and lowers set your pinon angle at 1.5

Your setup looks good. For what you have though I wouldn't change springs or shocks or yank the bumper out just yet. If you plan on doing a lot of racing then go ahead and do that stuff. And yes aftermarket c. arms do affect ride. It's better. The car will handle firmer and hook up better. Check out my forum, Mike Glover Fabrication. Look at the pics of some of the stuff I make. I don't make trq. box reinforcement kits yet, but I can get you some Steeda's or UPR. Let me know what ya think and if you still want Steeda stuff, pm me and i'll get you some pricing. I am carrying Steeda and UPR stuff now.
