Order of upgrades after new tires/rims
Hi,
I'm a little confused on what the best order would be for my suspension + tires/rims.
I'm looking to get some 17x9.5 or 11s and LCAs, panhard bar, shocks, springs.
What I would like to know, would it be best to get adjustable suspension since I'll be getting bigger rims, tires? (I'm only getting bigger tires/rims for the back for now).
I know the springs I want will lower the sucker up to 1" according to Eibach, so I wanted to know if its better to wait AFTER rims/tires to get suspension or if its ok to go ahead and get suspension that mounts to the same places as stock but will be stronger.
Thanks!

Which Eibach Springs are you getting, the SLP Eibachs or one of the Pro-Kits? Have you considered Strano Springs? I have the LT1 Pro-Kit with SLP Bilsteins and I'm currently satisfied.

I was thinking of getting that SLP combo of the Bilstein shocks/Eibach springs.
Oh yes I wouldn't forget the Sub Frame Connectors.
I did a little bit of browsing and saw the Vogtland Springs on WS6store, (I usually do all my shopping on there), those looked pretty good with the Bilstein shocks.
But I figure with bigger tires, LCAs, SFCs, and a Panhard bar, I should have plenty of traction

SFC's won't change with tire size. An adjustable PHB will help you optimize your rear alignment to run maximum tire.

If you're shopping at WS6Store, don't forget the UMI stuff!
