you should be a little more specific with your question, and I would try searching/browsing through the suspension section

As others have stated you have been a little vague.

Best bet for suspension stuff is Sam Stano (check out his site or give him a call), if you explain what you want from the car he will tell you the bits you need to buy.

I'm going to be getting some shocks and anti-roll bars (sway-bars ) from him later in the year when I'm over in Atlanta.

I also like UMI I think their parts are well designed and I've only read good things about them.

LCA
PHB
SFC
STB
Body mounted torque arm
LCA relocation brackets

These are all good parts to get. Some are dependant on the rear end though, so maybe looking into a 12 bolt first will be a better bet.

Just don't slam the ride to the ground if you want it to handle well.
