Default What To Get??

Well I just purchased an 02 Trans Am WS6 Ram Air, I've already talked a little bit about it in the newb area so I won't mutter on about it here haha.

just curious as to what to get for it, it's basically a new car with only 593 miles, and I don't plan on beating the **** out of it anytime soon.

I heard SFC's are a must, now which ones? I see some people say 3 point SFC's are the way to go, but when I look at everybody's pics/sig a lot of people don't have the 3 point????

Also Lower Control Arms, which is better to get? adjustable or Non adjustable?

Same with panhard bar, Adjustable or Non Adjustable?

I've also seen strut tower braces the adjustable ones? or would you go with non?

Which is best? and what company would you go with?

I just want the vehicle to last as long as possible and don't want anything bending or screwing up because I've read lots and alot of people are shaking there heads because they didn't do the things they did now instead of before.

Personally, I'd just go with 2pt. weld-on SFC's. If you're going to lower the car, you will want an adjustable PHR, and possibly adjustable LCA's. As far as the STB, it's not really needed because the K-member takes up most of the load on the front end. Some guys say they could feel a difference when putting one on the car, but it's up for debate. Just my $.02 though.

SFC's, LCA's, STB, and a good TA are always strong places to start. Personally I would go with UMI as far as companies go. I went with a lot of Spohn components before I knew about UMI but from what everyone says, they have great products and pretty competitive prices. I agree with LS69TA about the SFC's. If you plan on lowering your car you would want an adjustable PHB so you could get everything centered and you would also want relocation brackets to compensate for the change in angle of the LCA's. Hope this helps!
