Default Got questions

Ok i finally took the dive into my suspension, Ive got so far spohn poly/spherical panhard bar and sportline rear springs. Im also ordering spohn poly/spherical LCA's, spohn LCA relocation bracket, spohn standard duty crossmember mounted adj. T/A with a spherical rod end. This is my first suspension and i just want to make sure im getting the right things. It a bolt on only street/strip/weekend car. So does this sound about right?

That's kind of a vague question. I personally wouldn't do that if I had money to spend. Then again what I want isn't really what everyone else wants. To me the "right" thing to do is to fix what I believe the weak points in the suspension are. To me that would be to improve the handling feel most of all, which would mean get better shocks on there. The types of suspension I'd buy also depends on what kind of application I was doing with the car. Daily driving, maybe some Bilstiens and stock springs. Mild performance I'd go Koni and Strano springs with good swaybars. Even for road racing I'd probably start with the mild performance setup, test the car, and tweak it as I felt needed.

Dude like Bryan said, everyone has an opinion! but I wouldn't put spherical end on any street car of mine! & the more adjustments you put on car the more you have to jack with!! panhard yes............we have a T/A that runs 10.70's all day long w/non adj. anything! well except it has relocation crossmember w/the diff. holes.

Just try-n to help cause spherical rod ends on the street make alot of noise!!!
