Honestly, we run stock small block Moog or TRW springs in the front. The key in the front, and they are not cheap, is Santhuff shocks.

If you're going to change the rear suspension, then leave it for now, don't just put coil over shocks on it, wait, save your money, put a four link under it. Otherwise, take the ladder bars and the stock springs off, and buy the springs, bars, and shocks from CalTrac. CalTrac springs, bars, and shocks will get a mid 9 second Stock Eliminator car down the track on a 9" tire. I'd rather have the CalTrac stuff than ladder bars for a small tire car.

What about for a 14" tire? I run them when I'm not running the 9" class. The 14's are on the car in the second video, at MIR.
