Default Suspension Advice

Hey guys. I've already got some lca's that I need to put on my car, but I'm also wondering what else I should get for the suspension. Uca's? Subframe connectors? What else? And can I find either of those pieces for under 100 and have them still be good pieces? I found some uca's on rpmoutlet for under 100, but anything other ideas? Thanks!

I'm worried if I lower it, if I try to go over any speed bumps I will be screwed. Especially since my mid pipe hits a speed bump now when I go over one.

z, for the struts, I see a lot of times people have to remove them when they get a supercharger put on. Do you know of any that I can use for now and when I get the sc on? Struts are supposed to keep your a$$ from sliding around right?

I'm still running stock struts with my supercharger, but not for long. The extra weight of the supercharger and intercooler has made my front end a little lower; adjusting for the weight change would be ideal if you can do it, but I dont think its absolutely needed.

But I'm putting on different springs/struts/shocks here shortly anyway, and will rebalance the car per its current weight distribution via the adjustable shocks/struts.

Struts dont keep you from sliding sideways; they work with the springs to maintain ride height and smooth out bumpiness.

Now, go get that bad boy blown!
