Default Suspension Question any advice?

Hey guys,
I'm new and i have a quick question. I have a 1987 vert lx that i bought for 750$ body is in nice shape. The 5.0 motor is out of a 1990 GT. ( my car was a 4banger). i'm looking to redo the suspension. Whats the best for the money for just cruising around town, but playing every now and then. Thanks for advice.

Full length subframe connectors
shocks/struts - go with something adjustable
springs - you can go with something like eibach sportlines
upper/lower control arms - no need for adjustables... D&D makes a good/cheap/quality product along with a few other companies, etc.

That should keep you busy for a while lol

I agree w/ the subframes, but I wouldn't go w/ adjustable shocks/struts. Not worth the $$/hassle for a daily driver. Tokico HP's are 266 shipped at Brenspeed.com and look at Eibach's pro-kit or H&R sports for springs. H&R supersports or Eibach sportlines will be LOW and you'll need to change some steering/suspension components to keep you're steering geometry correct.

U/L control arms--UPR HD are only 199 for the set and will be fine for a daily driver.
