depends on how you want the car to ride are the streets smooth by you? if so go with race only parts thats what i have they make a **** load of noise but i think thats b/c the streets here are crappy BMR extreme duty t arm, sub frame connectors, BMR ant roll bar QA1 shocks "R" series for the front 12 way for the rear, billingsley racing adj lower control arms lightest ones on the market 4.5 lbs adj panhard rod and your 12 bolt you should not having a problem hooking up. I have these parts and i can pull the wheels on the street!

actually depending on if you use slicks and have a 6 speed the 10 bolt might hold up for a while i had my car launching before the mods pulling a 1.6 60' running a 12.2 and never had a prob i then sprayed the car pulled a 1.6 then grabbed the kit 150 shot when the car shifted from first and it went low 11's i guess you just can shock the rear end real hard the car made 496 with stock internals all bolt ons with no2 i guess buy a rear when you need it
