I have a 94 z28 with a few bolt on and will be adding sometime in the future a 12.1 forged 383 ported heads, intake and large shot of spray. I will be doing a lot of drag racing but will also drive it on the street often. What does everyone think would be the best setup for what I am wanting to do. Also will be swapping the rear out for a 12 bolt. Thanks for you opinions!!!!!!

A good start would be :

Lower Control Arms
Panhard Rod
Quality Shocks
Adjustable Torque Arm
Subframe Connectors

It's an auto car so I think he could get away with the 12 bolt.

SFC's and TA would be my 1st if I was you

Agreed. I think the 12 bolt would be best for the auto. Not as much drivetrain lose.

Minus the 9in this was exactly what I was thinking. What would be the best springs. Mine are wore out so I was thinking either V6 stock springs or some after market.

Remember lowering springs arnt the best for drag racing if that's what your aiming for.

No I like the stock height just have not been able to find any stock height that are aftermarket. Everything I keep finding is 1 or 1 1/2 inch drop.

If you like stock height, then stick with the stock springs. They are better than most people give credit for.
