Hopefully it's not Gold, the quota for gold grand prix's in the tristate area has been filled! J/K

What kind of rearend is in the car?
What are you going to do with it? ie:daily driver, drag, street, or road race.

If you have a good rearend(posi) in the car, stock trailing arms, air bag(passenger side rear spring) and 3-way shocks should get you in the mid 10's easily. Also, if you are not doing a lot of street driving, remove the front swaybar completely. It will save you weight on the nose and loosen up the front end during launches! All of the above should cost you about $100 or less, Air bags you only need one and get it from a swap meet. Shocks I think they are 40 each new!

yeah, the cars a totally stock 305 w/electronic carb. Its shity now with a stock open diff and bad suspension. I'm on maliburacing.com and they ot some cheap suspension stuff and ill probably go that route. I want to go adjustable upper and lowers w/a 9in. I can build myself a bad ass 350 so thats covered. I'll build my batt. system and fuel system myself and eventually go tubular uppuer and lower control arms with a willwood kit and manual brakes. Thanks Paul!

BtW- It will be a street car so "street!" hookin is critical.
