Suspensions are good, I suggest using one.

But seriously, it's a pretty simple suspension. You have 2 struts up front and a 3-link rear with a panhard bar, which are all upgradable. You're going to have to do your own research.

Really Simple.

Good Springs (Stock are okay, CJ, BMR, Eibach)
Shocks (Tokico, Koni, QA1)
LCAs (BMR, MM, J&M)
Adj UCA (BMR)
Adj PHB (J&M, BMR, MM)

As said above - Use the search, and do some research. Everything you'll ever want to know is here. After you search and learn as much as you can about all the pars if you still have questions try asking some of the guys on here personally. There are TONS of serious racers & builders/tuners on this forum that can help you out (PSFRacer, MattD, SD, John@BlowBy, AMChris, etc).

Actually SD is a goner lol

To OP, like everyone else is saying just do your own research but to get ya started look into lower control arms, springs, and relocation brackets as far as searching goes. Good luck! This will probably get moved to Chit Chat I imagine, so try to post things that are not techy in that area.

John is right. Sky($$) is the limit!!

I'd read through that thread Matt started. There's great info in there of some hardcore setups that are pulling 1.2 60's and also some good street/strip setups that are in the 1.5-1.69999999 range (haha @ MattD)
