i know theres a few links on front end rebuilds and springs and shocks but im getting confused as to what set-up to run.
car will be getting the works so im after opinions and help as what to put in it.
The lh is getting a rb30 turbo motor which is stock atm as im modifying everything else in beforehand but am hoping for 350rwkw later on. trans is a full manual trimatic which will later on be transbraked. diff is 3.45 9 inch.
i want the car to handle nicely on the street and corner well, and also hook up nicely when drag racing. i know sacrifices have to be made for either and i am leaning more towards dragracing setup.
what bushes should be used through out the car?
should i run sway bars/panhard rod for street and remove for draging?
spring and shock set up?
i have adjustable upper control arms, should lowers be adjustable too or boxed...?
what sort of camber/caster should be ran? car will be running commodore wheels
any thoughts and help would be much appreaciated as i want to start buying parts but i thought i would ask the experts first
cheers

Nolathane bushes front and rear
No swaybars(for drag racing anyway)
6 cylinder torana springs front and rear
Koni adjustables on the rear
90/10 shocks up front (get them through peddars)
Boxed rear control arms
Thats the setup i will be using in my LH but it hasnt being on the road yet so i cant give u any info on how it handles I heard the adjustable control arms change your diff pinion angle so they would be improvement in that area for sure anyone else got any ideas or suggestions

I got mine through a mate at mates rate so i dont know the retail price of them. They r only the baseline konis u can only adjust the rebound stiffness u can get more hardcore ones depending on your needsthanks for the help.
