Default How does this sound?

*First and foremost I am going to install the longtubes in my garage.

*The posi my rear end is f*cked, so I am buying a really low mileage torsen diff. for a good price and while I'm at it I am gonna throw in some 4:10's.

*Next on the list is a set of Spohn Adj. Lower Control Arms and a Spohn Adj. Panhard rod. (I already have subframe connectors). Do you think I still need the adjustable parts if my car isn't lowered or anything?

Does this all sound like it will be a good combo for now? If you all prefer a different brand than Spohn, or doing something better than the control arms and panhard rod, but for the same price, let me know. Once school is out I will do a little more suspension, true duals, and probably a cam. Oh, and should I get the solid crush sleeve when I do my gears? Thanks guys.

Better get a pro to do your gears. They have to set the pinion depth and the lash on the gears so they don't whine. Sounds like a good mod list however. If you plan on big power and slicks, better ditch the 10 bolt for something stronger.

Yeah, I was gonna have somebody do it. I wish I could afford a 12 bolt right now, but I cant. Maybe this spring when Im not going to school and i am working full time.
