Default RE: Best "bang" for my buck suspension wise

ORIGINAL: redxls
as stated earlier by many others, there is alot of great info on the site. I have any interesting dilemma. I have acess to ford, roush and steeda parts at dealer cost. so with that said which parts exactly would you guys get. I figure at those prices I probably cannot put together anything cheaper. dealer cost is not free by any means but it is still a savings. suspension guru's help.
I suppose it comes down to what the actual prices are, and what you want out of the car.

I am pretty anal about my part choices. If "brand A" is better than "brand B", but brand B is cheaper, then the price difference would have to be pretty big in order for me to choose B over A....but that's just my personal opinion. I would happily buy a $200 panhard bar over a $100 panhard bar if the $200 one is a better product.

Mind you, a lot of the Steeda, Roush, etc, parts are good, it's just that if you want the best setup you have to mix and match. For example, Steeda's springs, rear sway bar, and LCA relocation brackets are very good. I wouldn't hesitate to use those--and it's especially good for you if you can get 'em at cost. But I would NOT use their LCAs, panhard brace, or strut tower brace, becasue other companies make better ones (often times for less money, as steeda is pretty expensive most of the time).
