Put some new shocks on and some good slicks or drag radials and it will hook anywhere you race.
By changing all of that, you are getting away from the intention of the current pure stock.

If pure stock is meant to be an entry level class, you certainly don't need to spend $800 on those parts. They look to be too adjustable for the way the rule book reads anyway.

Regular Stock and Pure Stock rules are near identical.
We are allowed a 3/4 inch change forward or rearward.
In my case to be able to add 30 inch tall slicks without interference.
As for good bushings...oh yes.
Stock ones with a bunch of miles on them will get the crap beat out of them drag racing.

Again chassis upgrade parts are more for safety and reliability.
