    Default Best suspension for street car with 600 rwhp

    I am starting to look at suspension for my 97 procharged trans am. It will be mainly street driven with some 1/4 mile time a few times a year. I typically drive 500 miles per year.

    I really want coil overs to adjust the ride height though.

    Any recommendations?

    I like the Spohn Performance rear coil-overs, with the chassis reinforcement for the upper shock mounts.

    I run BMR everything with QA1s, not sure how well it is on the street but works extremely well on the track

    Those of you that have tubular front suspension on the street, does it make noise? Like, when the car hits bumps or driving on a rough road, does it rattle?

    rod ends will always be noisier than poly or rubber, regardless of where they are. only place they don't make noise really is panhard. when I had umi street arms with the rod ends they didn't rattle per say, but were noisier than stock
