I think your going about this all the wrong way. Tossing a ton of parts on the car will help the car one way, but will hurt it another way. All 3 companies probably have good stuff, but if you're using your car for daily driving and throw all rod end stuff on your car then you'll probably make the car more noisy. If you want to handle better and put on a bunch of ctrl arms, biggest rear swaybar on, then you'll probably make the rear end more tail happy.
Figure out what you want to do with your car and decide how you want it to handle, and then research what each part does and how it helps. Some things that are sold out there will do little to nothing for your handling.
I pretty much buy all my suspension stuff from Sam Strano. His suspension recommendations have led me to having a pretty comfortable car and helped me some of my local racing events.

I just finished putting BMR LCA's, Adj. PHR, STB, SFC's, Springs, and best of all the 4/4 Koni's, and damn, I fell in love with my car all over again, and I do live 10mins from BMR so I had to go with them. I have had there products on 2 of my f-bodies now and love there products.

my car is 100% UMI suspension. NO complaints whatsoever. it hooks like crazy and handles just fine. i know BMR and Spohn both make quality parts, i'm just speaking from experience.

Now AFA UMI goes, they've recently collaborated with Sam Strano to sell some of his suspension parts, which are definitely top notch for probably what you're intending to do, because who often really purchases aftermarket parts without the intent to improve something performance oriented?

Shocks are pretty much the most useful modification for the car. Stock ones suck, can't even control the stock springs. Shocks will help you in any application you use your car for.
Any plans on bringing that thing to a car show?

That UMI video was badass!!! It's always nice to see that your products are made in a clean purpose built facility compared to your local shed, garage, or crackhouse

i was looking into suspension for my car but i read from some people on this website that the suspension on ws-6s are different and some suspension components may not do much for ws-6s. i was also looking into another company refered to my by summit racing called eibach springs and i was wondering if i could get some input on that company compared to the above listed. also, i'm planing on circuit racing my car and i might take it to the strip just to see where i am in that respect.
