Well if your going to set up to handle.

The most important thing on our cars is 1st: Shocks 2nd: Swaybars 3rd: springs.

Just going shocks+ front bar will make a world of differerce.

Im doing a re-valved bilisten set with strano 35/22 hollow bars.

The qestion is can your front springs handle the big bars? A good spring set to use would be a prokit.

I would give strano a call though and expalin your situation and he will help ya out [img]smile.gif[/img]

talked to strano today and he helped out alot, save up about couple mor ehundred dollars and get either :
a.revalved bilsteins with lowering springs 740ish
b. adj. konis(just as goood as above) 700(lifetime warr.)
c. panhard bar: 140
sway bars: set is 350ish

but with you for now i would go A or B and add C to those which would be about 900 ish!
