Talking Going all out DRAG setup!!

I need the front wheels off the ground! Heres what im planning on starting with.....4:10's with 31 spline axles, Eibach Drag springs all around, Lakewood 90/10 front struts, Strange 10 way adjustable rear shocks, 26x10x15 ET Streets, Lose the swaybar, Full length MM subframe connectors, and MM antiroll bar.

Sound good? Any suggestions? Oh and this is a daily driver......

be careful driving that thing in corners. Too aggressive in the wrong way for a DD IMO.

I could also go with some nice adjustable front struts. May be a better option...

upper and lower rear controll arms, and take as much weight out of the front end as you can that will help to get the wheels pointed skyward. I dont know about 94 and newer stangs but the fox cars have a nasty habbit of tearing out the torque boxes so you might want to look in to renforcing those as well.

Thats a good solid drag setup but its gonna suck on the street i would for sure go with adjustable front struts too so you can make them stifffer so its ok on the streets.
