poly front control arm bushings
UMI adjustable spherical panhard rod
UMI LCA relocation brackets

poly rear sway bar bushings and endlinks
wat i have done already to suspension...
all poly done except wats noted up top
thru floor subframes designed by me
wonder bar
handmade tubular rear control arms
handmade tubular panhard rod
slp hyperblack 17x8 rims wrapped in nitto 555's
weight reduction up front (all AC stuff taken out, smog pump, fiberglass ram air 2 hood, front bumper support and rear seats taken out completly as well as sparetire etc)
SSBC force 10 brake upgrade/slotted rotors/stainless braded lines all over
rear new calipers
longtubes with true dual 3" turndowns(super light compared to stock stuff)
ive already mollested a new mercedes amg in the turns as well as some new BMW's and im not sure wat the new upgrades are gona do but im SIKED!!!! my car already handles like a slot car and its pretty stiff with stock springs and shocks/struts with 130,000 on the clock. car is 87 formula 350TPI with engine boltons. my question is are the new shocks/struts gona give me a softer or stiffer ride with the new springs than stock? idk but i heard the stock WS6 cars came with delco blistens and are the KYB's gona be stiffer/better than the stock i have on. the stock shocks dont seem to be shot cuz when i jump on the rear the car only bounces barely once, but i gotta get rid of the 4"fender gap in front and 3" in rear.i dont care about ride quality i love stiff rides where i feel every bump but grip the road like a son of a #%&#% . i want a better handler than i got now so u think the new stuff will give me wat i want? any tips on installin the new stuff? never gona struts/shocks/springs ever....

The moog parts should help tighten up the front. I have KYB's and I love them. How are the sportlines. Do you want to lower the car more?
