Well you never mentioned anything about springs or shocks. If you're gonna do that too go buy a tubular K member with a-arms and coilovers for the front and rear. And if you go that route, ditch the non-adjustable CA's for some solid/adjustable ones. With the right settings you can make your car a real carver and straight-liner.

What are your goals? do you want a corner carver or a track monster? UPR makes some decent pieces for the strip but I would not trust my life in their hands on any kind of road race or soloII track. Any company that sells you a set of UCA's and tell you it'll help you handle is not a company you want to trust when your goals are corner carving. MM and Griggs are about the only companies I'd trust in regards to road racing/corner carving.
Read up on the suspension bind and the way the 4 link is setup and you'll realize that its a major mistake to upgrade the uca's. Other than that I'd recommend heading over to corner-carvers.net and read up as much as you can, those guys try to post nothing but facts, backed by science/physics or actual road racing events.

you will never have a real carver with any type of uca setup on a sn95 chassis.

I have mostly Steeda parts and I don't really see that their is that big of a difference in the the Steeda parts compared to the MM parts. I can definitely agree that Griggs is top of the line stuff though. And I can admit that when you get real in depth with the suspension that MM starts to get better than Steeda. But, when you are just doing basic suspension set-ups I think Steeda is more than good enough for most people. They offer quality parts that definitely improve handling and they are a bit cheaper than MM and much cheaper than Griggs.
