Would this be sufficient for the power I plan on having. Also would a new front end (tubular K-member and everything related) make it handle like a bmw, is it worth the money?
Thanks
I'm getting confused. What exactly do you want it to do? How much, exactly, are you willing to spend? At first it seemed as if you were looking for something to help you hook up and launch without loosening any fillings, on a budget. Now it's seems like you want to carve corners? The setup is night and day different, and while there are some great compromises if you spend enough, you still have to decide what is really more important to you in the end. If you want it to just hook, there are a plethora of options in all price ranges; and remember that there are some stupid fast cars out there on the dragstrip with relatively stock suspensions. Once you go saying "BMW", you are in a whole other ball park. Yes, it can be done- and then some. The single most important word is PACKAGE. Get it all from the same place, get it from someone with a reputation for eating up Germans like MM or Griggs, and get ready to spend. Been there, done that, never looked back
