most worthwile suspension mod?

...to reduce 60 foot times. At the track about the best 60 foot I got was in the low 2.3s. Im running decent z rated tires with stock suspension. I'll be installing subframe connectors shortly. Im running KYB shocks in the back, and I just replaced all of the bushings back there(after the fact). 130k on this suspension. Any ideas?

for the short game, id suggest Nitto's before any real suspension mods if you looking for best game from one MOD. Otherwise LCA's

Adjustable Torque arm

That would be the first Mod I would recomend. combination of that, and Subframe connector's it's a whole different car.

I'd recomend Steve Spohn's Adjustable torque arm. It works very well. After driving mine with it... Both off the track and at the track, I think every thirdgen should have one it is that good in my opinon

After those two.. i'd got with LCA's. then DR's/cheaters.

those are both great ideas, but for cheap, and alot of diffrence, get a pair of LCA relocation brackets, they will make a HUGE diffrence and wont hurt the wallet too bad.

how do the relocation brackets work? I'm looking into some suspension mods myself and definitely want the most bang-for-the-buck

they work by lowering the rear of the LCA, (axle side) , this helps transfer the power down , it will elimate most if not all of your wheel hop too :-D
