Looks to be correct. The reason i suggested the one with sphericals on both ends is because they suggest those for any car that is drag raced and it will give better launch characteristics than with the urethane bushing and wont bind on you. Plus it will make up some for the lowering springs.

-BMR adj. uppers (sphercial) $360
-BMR lowers(spherical) $330
-steeda spherical bearings in axle $110
-steeda drag springs w/bag in rear $275


upcoming parts..
-4cyl. fox springs for front $60
-adj. QA1 shocks $300
-steeda anti roll bar $330


i can say the BMR UPCA/LCA are extremely heavy duty very nice pieces

depends how much money you want to spend as you can see shiat adds up real quick for just suspension

Are ball joints and bumpsteer kit necessary. I'm actually planning on installing my H&R springs, tokico blues, and MM plates next week. I was contemplating buying the ball joint and bumpsteer but i've spent so much money already i passed on them. What will happen if i don't buy the bumpsteer or ball joints?

^x2 I am installing the same setup in a couple weeks. I passed on the bumpsteer and ball joints because I already spend $700 on the shocks, struts, springs, and c&c plates. I would also like to know if those components are really necessary
