so whats left?
WEll in the last 2 months I've pretty much changed out everything suspension wise. Here's the list:
Spohn-
poly/spherical adjustable panhard bar
poly/spherical adjustable LCA's
Sway bar set
steering brace
SFC
front end kit (minus centerlink and idler arm)
all poly bushings
Tokico lowering springs
Koni yellows
C5 thin spoke 17" wheels
goodyear 245 eagle potenza tires
So i was wondering, is there anything left to do? I know relocation brackets for the LCA's. I do have them, but plan on putting a moser 9" in, and figured I would go ahead and wait for that before installing them (I know i need new brackets). Also a STB, but I'm waiting for Spohn to come out with his. So whate else is there? I can't possibly be done

Spohn torque arm, BMR 3 point STB, Spohn/Alloy strut mounts, If you have spohn sfc's then a set of alstons, or vice versa, rebuilt quick ratio steering box.

well i plan on getting a T56 next year, so i'll get the torque arm then. Is the BMR 3-point STB pretty good? I do have an L03 right now, so I would have to get the 3-point and the selection is pretty limited.
Are the billet strut mounts all that important as far as improving handling, or are they more for looks? I'm not to concerned with looks, I just want it to handle better than any car I ever come across.
As far as the steering box, I have an 87 and the 91 which is getting all the work done to it. The 91 seems to have a quicker ratio than the 87, and is a little bit harder to steer. I'm assuming i dont have the quick ratio as mine is just an RS, but it does seem quicker than my 87. So were there several types of steering boxes out there?

You should definitely get new upper strut mounts. I personally don't see much point in the billet mounts unless those springs drop your car more than 2 inches. Koni shocks and struts are supposed to provide the same dampening force anywhere along their travel anyway. That's what Koni says, at least. So the Moog mounts would be a good choice.
A strut tower brace will help your handling, as well. However, I have yet to see a piece that really made me feel like I had to have it.

Dont think the BMR will clear your tbi setup, though it is a very nice piece, the strut mounts will allow your struts to move when your struts change angle due to the spherical bearing, instead of just not budging and putting extra wear on the stock type.
