Sorry forgot that. It was one from D&D Motorsports that I bought years ago(early 2000 dont remember exact year), but I now am buying all my suspension parts from TRZ Motorsports down in Florida. Ive posted about them in another thread family owned and great people to deal with. Met Mike at an MIR event a few years ago. He came over to my pit looked at what I had and put something together at the track for me to use that day. I've been buying from them since.

Street driving and dragrace.
Street driving does not mean handling in corners, it's fastest to the next red light ;)
I think I'm going to try the QA1 front kit with shocks and all. Could be good with some brand new shocks even though the old ones aren't even close to being bad. 14" 175lb springs is what I'm going to try first I think.
