Their prices are really good for the quality of their components.

thats true i suppose.. and had i the money i'd buy from them or Griggs.

I'm still confused on the whole straight line / turning suspension thing. From what I am reading you cant have a middle ground ?..ie good cornering and decent straight line/off the line traction ?

You may be surprised at how well a upper/lower/spring/shock setup will do for you. I know everyone thinks you just have to go full out one way or the other on drag or road race but unless you are trying to set records you can find a happy medium.

There are plenty of guys who road race/autocross with only what I have listed and do well. Also plenty of cars pulling 1.5 short times with the same. Yes you will not set records but this isn't a all out race car right? You have to compromise both on all out performance and like most of us, compromise on budget.

I think the most important thing is to decide how much you can really spend and what you really are planning to do with the car then go from there.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.
