Default Getting ready for Spring

Hey guys, I'm getting ready for spring and the first thing I need to do is get some new tie rods, springs, struts, shocks. Basically a complete upgrade of the suspension. I was looking for parts and was curious on yalls imput on these products.

Springs - http://www.steeda.com/products/steed...rt_springs.php

Spring Isolators - http://www.steeda.com/products/steed...rt_springs.php
Shocks - http://www.slickcar.com/productdetai...ProductID=5312
I was wondering what to do with the tie rods, any opinions? Thanks!

Brad

steeda springs are good but there are better brand in my opinion...eibach, h&r, etc...those shocks and struts are some of the best so i would go with them. you petty much have to buy what you can afford. most springs are about the same so i wouldnt worry too much about them.

But are those shocks and struts the same ones I linked? I got the money to get the best, been saving all winter for this project, so I figure if I got the money for it might as well get it
