Default Recommended Suspension Mods

Just wondering what suspension mods make the most sense to do next. I want better corning for street driving. I am planning on adding heads and a 4400 stall soon as well. Any advice? I looking to spend about $500 or so.

Thanks,

Mike

SFCs, LCAs, and PHB would be a good start.

In that case, maybe the PHB and a torque arm.

$500 bucks isnt too much to work with, but its a good start. I'd say go with SFC for sure. I have Comp Eng, but my friend has BMR's and theyre substantially more beefy. Then since you dont want to spend too much, like me, I'd go for Lakewood LCA's and Adj. Panhard Rod. These are cheap and are perfectly fine for me. I'd say theyre all about the same unless you pay extra for rod ends. Other than that, if you want cornering, the stock shocks, springs, and sway bars will have to go...I did what I thought was the best bang for the buck. All I'm missing is the A-arms, which i think cost too much, so ill wait. So, I get the 3 things below for sure, and pick what you can from the list below that. I got my Lakewood pieces and shocks from Summit. Oh yeah, I'm recalling these prices from memory, but theyre close. Hope this helps.
