Time for a little suspension!! Well again i come to you guys/gals for help! now im done with my motor for a little bit and i wana start touching up on the suspension. Now dont hate me...but i do like the stock ride heigth(sp?) and i like the way it handles! i think springs and shocks are a bit outa my range right now. Ive managed to save up a few triple digit bills. I know for sure i wana get LCAs and possibly SFCs? please give me suggestions on brands/parts whatever. thanks ahead of time!!!!!!! and can someone explain to me about the different mounts? like the polyutheraneamoanogroebguro mounts etc?? thanks again
here are the LCAs i was thinking about from spohn..

and would a dif panhard bar be a better choice then SFCs?

I personally would get the non-adj round tube ones. Save the 25 bucks.
The difference between poly and chrome-moly spherical rod ends is noise. How much do you want to deal with? Get a ride in someones car with the spherical rod ends and see how much noise it makes. Some people can't stand it, personally it doesn't bug me. I would go a poly on one end and spherical on the other if you are looking at that level.
SFCs can make a big difference in how much the car squeaks and such, plus some handling differences. LCA makes a difference in turning.
I love the Spohn stuff, its the only stuff that I buy new.

You don't need to replace your panhard bar unless you lower your car and thus change the geometry of the suspension, which still won't really be that big of a deal unless you are running 11" wide rims in back.
