Maximum Motorsports, D&D, Mega Bites, etc. Depends on how much you got to spend [8D]

I just installed the Summit ones that are powder coated in black and come with the stage 8 bolts and they work great.

Spring perch is where the rear springs sit on the control arms. And, yes, you want the ones with sway bar mounts. As for adjustables or not, that's up to you and what you want from the car. Adjustables will allow you to set pinion angle for a greater/lesser hit to the tires on launch.

I recently installed Max Motorsports adjustable lowers with the spherical bushings, with FRPP uppers, no complaints here, really stiffened up the @$$ end of my car...
