installing springs/shocks in the next few weeks The setup will be:
Strano Springs
Koni 4/4 Shocks
UMI Adjustable Panhard Bar
Ill be getting this installed in the next 2 to 3 weeks. So my main questions right now are, is there anything else i need to buy that are usefull or necessary? I just want to try and have all the parts in hand and just about have everything covered in order to make the installation as smooth as it possibly can be.
Also, on the Koni's. What are you guys setting them at?? And what is the lower perch mod or something like that?
Any help is appreciated guys.

I have the springs and shocks just waiting on the time to install them. I have heard it is nice to have some new top strut mounts in case the others are destroyed getting them apart. I will buy those before I start and return them if not needed. You will also need some spring compressors. The autozone near me rents them for $50. If you bought them from Sam he will help you with the settings. The lower perch is used with stock springs not lowering springs. Which Panhard bar did you buy?

He's talking about LCA relocation brackets, not the panhard bar relocation. And you don't really need LCA relocation brackets. Depends on what you want to do with the car. If you drag race, you might want relocation brackets to correct the geometry to help plant the tires when launching. Handling situations though you won't need them. They could actually hurt your steering control and increase oversteer if you got them and put them in the lowest hole.
