Question Best Suspension Combo

Hey guys,

I have been looking through the posts trying to find some info on the best suspension combination. I have seen a lot of opinions and I think I have decided on what components to go with. I already have the Eibach Pro-Kit installed and love it. I am planning to add SLP 1LE front and rear sway bars, 1LE lower control arms, SLP strut tower brace, and SLP bolt-on SFC's. I haven't decided yet on a panhard rod. Does this sound like a good combination? It meets my budget, yet I have seen good results from this setup. Super Chevy had an article where they installed this setup on a 2002 Z28 and knocked off almost 1/2 a second in the quarter. It's 0-60 dropped almost 1/2 a second as well. It went from .80 g's to .90 g's. And it's slalom speed increased by 3 MPH. Please let me know if there is anything you would change here, or what I can expect from this setup. Are there better components that are affordable? And also, please suggest an affordable adjustable panhard rod. Since my car is dropped, I would like to be able to center the rear end. Thanks for all the help.

I think you might like the Spohn stuff. They make all the suspension pieces and look real nice.
