Your first addition should be subframe connectors. Those will give you a real seat of the pants difference in how the car feels.

From there, it's up to you.

You might want to add a signature to your profile with your car info.
Your user ID suggests '96 TA but the more info the better.

To do that go under QUICK LINKS and EDIT SIGNATURE.

Also keep in mind that whats best for Drags is bad for Auto-X or handling.

So let us know what kind of racing your going to be doing and then we can help you out.

Its going to be street drivin car, but i want it to hook at the drag strip, i want a mild drag suspension,...so its still streetable

when it comes to subframe connectors is there a major difference between bolt on and weld in??

(And I just added my mods to my sig.!)

There was a good article in High Performance Pontiac a few months ago on subframe connectors.

From the article:

There are two common varieties of subframe connectors-weld-in and bolt-on. The weld-in type offers maximum benefit, as its design solidly links the front and rear framerails together. Installation, however, is fairly permanent, and cutting or grinding on the framerails, floor pan, and/or connectors is required if the units must be removed for any reason.

Bolt-on subframe connectors are far less permanent. A pair can typically be installed without significant modification to a vehicle's framerails or floorpan. Well-designed units fit snugly, while reducing body flex and improving ride quality.

If your going to be doing mainly Drag I recommend just the 2 point SFC not the Double Diamond ones. The DD design is more for Auto-X and I personally think it will make the car to Ridgid and Make it a tad harder to make the car hook.
