call bmr or umi. make sure you purchase what you need tomorrow because the huge sale is going to end. most likely labor day will be the next sale. im dropping 1300 on suspension tomorrow
A few suggestions for you! i want to replace everything all my suspension is old and my car is squeaking so i would really appreciate it if someone who know's their **** help me out on what i need and what brand would be best ..Im going to run True Duals so i know that is important too keep in mind
I noticed that you are interested in some aftermarket suspension parts! Well I just wanted to leave you know that UMI Performance has a lot to offer for your set up. And seeing how you are wanting to run true duels I would suggest going with a full length torque arm but make sure it is adjustable to allow you to adjust your pinion angle. Or if the vehicle is at stock ride height and is going to stay that way I would recommend going with our non adjustable that we have -2 pinion angle built into it already. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

Just about everything can be replaced minus the K-member if it is only a street car. Don't quote me on this but every piece I put on made a bit of a difference. But for starters I would start with Subframe's, LCA's with relo brackets if the car is lowered, and a torque arm. See how that feels and go from there.

i want to do pretty much a complete suspension replacement because my car has alot of miles and its time to start restoring and yea thank's for the help everyone i will call UMI today
If that's really what you're after, then it's your bushings, ball joints, and mounts that need replacing and NOT a whole suspension rebuild. Newer quality shocks should help as well.
If the bushings etc are old it will have a loose feeling like the car is moving all over the place, especially during braking and turns.
If your car has a lot of miles on it, a lot of the wear parts may be old. This could include the control arm bushings, ball joints, rear lca bushings, sway bar bushings and links, tie rod ends, possibly wheel bearings, etc.
Some new shocks and an alignment would also help.
Also make sure that your tire pressure is not too high, that's a common problem. I run about 32psi.

If you are looking for smoothing your car .. you will not need something like aftermarket K-member or torque arms !! ..
I'm suggesting these parts for anyone wants to renew his car and let it feels as new
Prothane Motor & Transmission Mounts, Red
Your car is about 10 years old .. you need to change your Motor and Transmission mounts ..
Energy Suspension HYPER-FLEX SYSTEM Complete Master Bushing Set, Red
This is a useful kit from Energy Suspension .. it contains all the bushings you need
SLP Bilstein Shock Package
I suggest these shocks with your stock springs ..

As a note, I do NOT recommended in poly bushings in any of the control arms (front upper, front lower, and rear lowers), especially the front lowers. Way too many problems that I and others have encountered with them, especially the caster bushing.
Replacement rubber is more than good enough for the control arms.
AFA the mounts, swaybar endlinks, and swaybar "D" bushings, I highly recommend Poly in those places. Poly transmission mounts may need some modification as some can introduce some crazy noise.
