Time to upgrade....few questions..
ok...time to upgrade my suspension....all i currently have is bmr lowering springs, global west panhard rod. im lookin for good shocks and struts.
will it benefit me to scrap my springs for other ones along with the shocks and struts or can i use these springs and upgrade to a better strut/shock combo.
i like it stiff so the stiffer the better. its not my daily driver but its no track car either...just a weekend cruiser. let me hear some ideas from you suspension experts. thanx in advance.

I say go Koni's all the way around, LCA's and relocation brackets since its lowered and a TQ arm for the rear. A new rear, either a 12bolt or a 9". For the front, a k-member and uppper and lower control arms and a new sway bar if you want. Also dont forget about SFC's

If you want the cheapest get the revalved Blistens. If you want the best or close to get the koni adjustables all the way around. Shouldnt set you back more than $780 and you have the option of chosing the stiffness of your ride. Im not sure how well they will work with the BMR springs if they're the 1.75 or 2" drop, but Im sure Sam could get more into detail about it.
