Default Any other Rear suspension needed?

I am in the process of a 12 bolt install (Along with other things) and I decided to do my rear suspension as well...almost 500 HP with a completely stock rear end and suspension was killing my times. anyways here is what I have so far

1. double adjustable QA1 rear shocks
2. BMR Heavy duty double adjustable LCAs
3. BMR adjustable short style Torque Arm with tunnel mount
4. BMR non-adjustable panhard rod
5. BMR Extreme Anti-roll sway bar

Anything else I need for the rear?

Also what about the front? I am completely stock up there

Just pull some weight out of the front for better weight transfer Then lets see the light under those front wheels!

or if you really want . GO TUBULAR EVERYTHING. supposedly it makes a difference from stamped metal. control arms, reloc. brackets. polyurethane bushings. lol change the boot for the rack-and-pinion . lololol

Aerospace brakes, LPW ultimate 12 cover for the rear. The front is a whole new ballgame, start saving, and looking in the classifieds for lower a-arms, k-member, and QA1 shocks.

For future reference tubular upper a-arms are almost completely worthless, and save 1 pound on both sides. Spend the money elsewhere....
