lcas for sure. once you have the springs, you'll need an adjustable panhard to recenter the axle on the body.

Those were the first suspension pieces I did as well. Combined with the subframe connectors they made the whole car feel about twice as solid.

Lca's, adj panhard, Subframe connectors, And to tighten the steering up a bit get a strut mount tower brace.

I've got a hotchkis STB I need to sell...

I started with LCAs, adj panhard, and SFCs. Next is tunnel mount adj tq arm and then coilovers.

thats what i did also, sfc's and lca's are the main things id get first. once you do that, the panhard, tq arm and a whole new suspension setup (if wanted) is nice way to finish it off

I'd start with SFC's first, then move onto LCA's but thats just me.

I'm glad you started this thread a day before I was going to lol. I thnk I'm going to wait and do it all at once, but I just ordered a UMI panhard bar, and shock tower brace.. My car is already lowered on just springs and I can feel it suffering

next on the list is torque arm, lower control arms and stc's.

 

[Eagle]

keep your stock springs.... you'll go back to them eventually...

Noob question of the week!...
Why have stockers in the back? Keep an optimum higth in the back for a bigger tire?

Weight transfer... V6 springs I heard are good to for transfer! I'm not positive but like75% sure that's why. In my case they are the best cause I don't have to do a damn thing to get them haha

 

[Shibby50]

Ok, so next on the list is lower control arms. What kind should i get? adjustable worth it. Tubular?

 

[Eagle]

adjustable is worth it. one side solid mount, the other side w/a bushing.

I kept my stock springs in the rear for tire clearance and the transfer weight pretty good. I did pull the rubber isolaters and replaced them with some hose on the top coil to lower the rear a little. IMO drag springs aren't worth the money.
