Suspension I am going to be changing my shocks and adding sub frame connectors, is there anything else that is a must to do while doing this? I would like to keep the price in the area i am at now, not looking to make it a race car.
Hello
If you are looking along the lines for better handling. Like mentioned above I would highly suggest looking into a set of lowering springs to go with the new shocks. But when you lower a vehicle I would highly suggest looking into a adjustable pan hard bar to allow you recenter the rear end back up under the vehicle due to it shifting when the lowering springs are installed. Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Additional information regarding the lowering springs and panhard rod can be found HERE
Here area couple of images of cars running our lowering springs to give you an idea of the stance....
As mentioned, if you're replacing shocks and want to do springs, now's the time, as you need to take the front shocks off to get at the springs. Otherwise, there's nothing that's really a "must do". Just things that are a "can do"
