Help me choose my suspension components...

Ok, here's the deal. I want to add performance suspension to the car and lower it at the same time. For springs I'm leaning towards Sportlines, and for the strut tower brace a three point BMR. Everything else though is up in the air though. I don't plan on drifting the car or launching it down drag strips. I just want to add all the necessary components that will improve the all around handling the car in real world driving situations. I would like to hear from some of the experts on here as to what all would fall in this category. Remember, if I would notice very little to no benefit in real world driving situations, then you can keep it off the list. So of the components I will need (adjustable panhard bar, shocks/struts, etc. etc.) what manufacturer would you recommend? Thanks for your help and time, Josh.

SFC's should be your first purchase. Next up would either be a wonderbar/panhard bar, lca's and if the car is being lowered, lca relo brackets. Other than that, torque arm? The STB is always a good investment.

As you can see from my sig, I have tons of suspension stuff done. Take a look. My car is a street car, will see the drag strip maybe a few times a year. I bought all this stuff in mind knowing it would be driven on the street more than anything. The one thing I would want to change are the Strut mounts...

Who did you go with for your panhard bar, wonderbar, and lca's?

Amazing stuff! You could go with Spohn, Hotchkis etc but UMI isn't what "everyone" else has and they do excellent work.

Cool. Thanks for the link man. Do I need the single or double adjustable panhard bar? Love your paint scheme by the way.

I got the single adj. panhard. You can adjust it when it's on the car. Pretty cool feature. You don't really need the adj. one but I got it because I figured it would be good to have. Thanks, once I repaint it I'll either be using the same colors or a Black/Gun Metal mix.

Thanks for the info. Car looks great the way it is, but a black/gun metal combo would look killer as well.
