Default Suspension experts, I need some advice..

Just got back from Road Atlanta, and want to do some more work to my suspension. But I don't want to get rid of my SLP level one Bilstein shocks and springs. So I want to match/install parts to work with my springs and shocks. So, what brand and what parts should I upgrade to make everything work together? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Basically, I want to maximize handling with the spring and shock combo I already have.

If those shocks and springs have too many miles on them, they are probably the weakest points of your susupension for what you are looking to do.

You'll probably want bigger sway bars, subframes, LCA's, PHR, etc.

I'd give Sam Strano a call. www.stranoparts.com

Thanks, will give him a call. I probibly have 6000 miles tops on the bilstein shocks and springs. And I should of mentioned, since its not in my sig, I put KBDD subframes on as soon as I took delivery of the car. I was thinking those would be the parts to upgrade, but brand and type is were I am uncertain. Will see if Sam can give me some input.
