Hello all,
I am trying to figure out what road I want to go down with regards to my front suspension. I keep looking at all the "package deals" that each of the different distributors have but I am not sure I want everything included. I was thinking about getting upper control arms, lower control arms, spring perches (rollerized), drop coils, and do the shelby drop. I would of course get all the necessary hardware to complete the install on everything. What I am really looking for answers and suggestions on are what do you all think? Am I missing something that is vital for a strong daily driver? My car has power steering (that isnt leaking...for now) so I will hang on to that as long as it keeps working. My intentions for the car are a low and mean daily driver. Probably wont see much track time but I want to take an off ramp with some serious speed. Please let me know what I am missing so I can start getting stuff ordered for when I return from Iraq. I cant wait to get home to a pile of new parts ready to go on when I get there. Thanks for the help!

Semper Fi,
Kris

You're headed in the right direction. Consider some better shocks - KYB, Edelbrock IAS, Konin etc. And definitely look at a bigger sway bar. The factory piece is damn near a coathanger.

We all appreciate your service for our country in Iraq.

Good luck...

package deals tend to be the best way to go since you do get everything you need for a proper rebuild, and you get a larger front sway bar as well. most distributors have several package deals though that allow you to tailor your package to what you need.
