The goal of my build is a 350ish rwhp vert.

I need to make sure when the hp is there, I can get it to the ground. Suspension goal is street / strip / cruiser. Currently I have FMS B springs, but what other suspension components are key to being able to hook up at the track while maintaining good cornering ability?

Thanks,
Ben

Not sure on the B springs, somebody else can chime in about those. Start with some Strange adjustable shocks and struts, good drag race components with adjustability for street comfort or whatever else you want to do. Some sub-frame connectors if you don't have em to keep the chassis in one piece. Get a good set of rear control arms, get adjustables if you really want to be able to dial in the suspension. Top it off with some good rear tires and unhook the front sway bar for the track.. That should meet you goals nicely

I'm not a fan, I've seen some pretty shady parts of theirs that somehow made it through their quality control. Majority of people probably won't have those issues though so don't necessarily let that steer you away from the right deal

I like team Z they are just a state up.

Lots of guys on the turbo forums use there stuff. The owner Dave is always help full if you have questions.

I will be using there stuff in my 86 notch.

x2 on Team Z. I have no personal experience with them but I don't think I've ever heard a bad thing about them. You can call Dave and he will tell you exactly what you need to make your setup work rather well.

My hole suspension is UPR, GREAT company and GREAT customer service. I have never delt with a company like them before. If i call and after hours almost everytime i get a phone call back around 8-9pm from Adam saying "They had missed my call" Thats my experience with them tho. I have complete front and rear suspension, Questions, Concerns, they are always on it. If u call them Ask for Brian, Great guy and he will hook u up. Tell him Josh from KY told u to call:bigthumb
