Default good way to start suspension?

i know i need new shocks/struts and i want to drop her a bit... sway bars are probably going to be needed with a 408 under the hood. you think this and some subframes are a good way to start my suspension?

If you like traction I'd also look into some upper and lower rear control arms

I would peice together your own suspension kit, make sure that you get adjustable shocks and struts.

That doesnt seem like a bad kit but this is also a pretty good "kit" from summit that they put together.

Strange 10 Way Adj. Shocks & Struts
Hotchkis C/C Plates
FRPP Front/Rear Lowering Springs

Hell I didn't even know that they had that package! I've got the FRPP C springs and the Strange Adjustable 10 ways on the front and the back. I could've saved some money. But with those springs and Strange shocks/struts, my car handles wonderfully, a LOT better than stock.

It doesnt specify that you get one option of FRPP springs so Im guessing that you havea choice. They will all drop different lengths. I would just call them and get the specifics.
