Default Suspension Help

Im looking into lowering my car with H&R springs. Im gong to be buying the adj. pan. bar but i want to do the shocks,struts at the same time. So is this the last thing i need?

Are these the best? Will i need to buy anything else?

Stang Suspension has them cheaper.

Roger Doger, War is right.
I bought the BMR lowering kit and then added BMR adj LCA with poly/sperical bearing.
If you are not 100% set on the HR springs you can check out the BMR kit here for $500, it has everthing you need.

You can see what the drop looks like on my car here.

Ya the kit comes with springs, new factory strut bearing mounts, camber bolts, reloaction brackets, and an adjustable panhard.
The drop is 1.25" in the front and 1.75" in the rear.

The ride is to be expected for a dropped car with performance parts, it handles awesome stiff and tight.
It is stiffer becauseI have the D-Specs set to 3 full turns from full hard ride.
The full range of motion is 7.5 turns and from what i read 5 turns from full hard is OEM ride.
