Default need opinions

I want to go with suspension before i start heavy motor spending, i know I will need to spend some cash but I love to have a smooth ride, which is the opposite with the f-body. I have an 02 WS.6(if you need to know to give better advise),so if you could post or pm me with advise, I can get started to ridin smooth i no time.

sfc, sway bars, strut tower braces, and a good set of coilovers maybe Qa1 heard nothing but good things about them. And they are on sale under the GPs.

dont forget the lower control arms and panhard bar and torque arm. but it all depends on what you want to do... if your primary concern is drag racing, forget the STB and front sway bar. i left the sway bar in mine cuz i like to beat up the streets, but i have no plan to upgrade the front sway bar. might eventually take it out.

No matter what you do, do it right the first time. I spent extra money on shocks because I went cheap the first time. Not only did I lose money on the deal, but the ride wasn't as good as it could have been.

Call Sam Strano (sponsor) and tell him what you have and what you want. He will talk your ear off about it, but gives excellent, real-world advice.

I don't think the company really matters as far as Torque Arm, LCA's, Panhard, SFC's, and STB. They all do the same thing and make a huge difference in the way the car handles. I highly recommend getting all the above.
