Default Street Suspension List

Hey guys, I've been doing some research for a while about suspension. My car will be pretty much 100% street driven, DD, and rarely, if ever, visiting the drag strip. There is a pretty good chance that by mid summer I will be adding a Vortech, and I plan not to run more than 8 psi. I dont plan to build the engine, so this is primarily a reliable DD that wont see over 400 rwhp. I put together a list of suspension components that I'm looking to purchase within the next few weeks, and wanted to see if I was missing something important for my application:

Tokico non-adjustable Shocks/Struts
FRPPC springs/ H&R Sport Springs
Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors
GMS Upper/Lower CA's


Thanks.

EDIT: If anyone has experience with these products, good or bad, please chime in.

Prodigy: Thanks, I was looking for user opinions.

Jackrocket: I saw your posts in that thread earlier, and actually based some final decisions off of that. You give good info, and your suspension setup is heavenly lol.. Thanks

If anybody else that has first hand experience with FRPP C Springs or H&R Sports can chime in, that'd be great.I want a firmer ridewith a slightly lower stance,but not so much that straight line accel. is compromised.

The Ford Racing "C" springs are very comparable to the stock springs that are on the GT Bullitt. I am currently running Bullitt springs/struts/shocks on my car. Not a huge difference in stance vs the stock springs. Maybe 3/4" drop if that. At the same time I put on Granatelli upper/lower CA's.This combination makes for a very streetable car with significant gains in off-line traction, cornering ability and over-all ride. The ride is a bit firmer than the OEM stuff, but I like it. The onlycomplaintthat I have isthe springs do not lower the car far enough for me. I will be replacing my springs with Eibachs to get a lower stance.
