Default Suspension help

Trying to finish up my suspension soon, so i just wanted some advice. I currently already have MM full length subframes, kyb 8 way adjustable gas shocks/struts, and pro kit. I will probably get steeda non adjustable upper/lower control arms and a strut tower brace. I am currently running street tires, so i also want to upgrade to either bfgs or nittos. Any feedback on anything i should look into getting that i am missing? this car never goes to the track and is just a street car. thanks guys

What about steeda X2 ball joints? strut tower brace and rear brace, sway bars..?? I love my nitto 555r's but they dont last very long.

One more piece of advice... I dont think you need that supercharge, why dont you just send it to me?

what is the car going to be used for, if its a dd you wont benefit much from aftermarket sways or struts.

I would recommend staying far away from any aftermarket uca's as they use harder bushings and prevent the uca's from going through their full range of motion. With the harder bushings your uca's will be fighting each other more and introduce much more bind into your rear end causing unforseen results.

I dont run the car at all at the track, so i had more of a hp goal which was 400rwhp. I just talked to my tuner because i had my intercooler setup/pulley size being tuned and we ended up going with a 3.1 instead of a 3.3, so he took off a few degrees of timing to compensate and im high 390s but hes going to finish up tomorrow so i dont know if ill even really have room to mess with cams. But goals for suspension, nothing crazy just something to help me hook a little better, which i honestly think just some upper/lowers and sticky tires will help tremendously.
