I've been looking at the steeda g-trac but it's REALLY expensive I get the whole setup an I've read one person say the steeda springs are junk....anyone with a Vert know what the best suspension setup is? I wanna make sure my car is set up to handle the power before I give it a lot of power. Aiming at the 400 range right now, maybe more in the future when I have more $. Let the opinions roll....all are welcome!

If this is the best option I will spend the money. Looking at building a engine bored a little with trick flow heads and a turbo...looking at 400-700 hp...not a drag car, all street. Wont push 700 hp all the time but would like to be able to achieve high numbers like that and need a suspension to handle it.

Here's my recommendation,H&R sport or race springs, tokico blue shocks, and subframe connectors to start.

Next I would go with a panhard bar/torque arm setup and tubular lower control arms.

That last bit will go a long way to helping you hook that power up to the pavement.

Extra sub frame connectors will do wonders on your vert. My car is as rigid as you would ever want it to be now. I'm also running Steeda springs and they seem great.

Griggs full suspension set ups work magic and drop weight off the car.

I'm gonna have to go through some receipts and make a list. I believe maximum full subframes, full tilt bushings, Steeda springs. But the cobra came with IRS so it would be a little different for yours. It's really rigid though. Not the greatest set up for drags but it will hold a curve.
