Is this a good suspension setup?

Default Is this a good suspension setup?

Is this a good set up?
Tokico hp struts/shocks
Either ford racing springs or eibach (if I go ford what letter should I get)?
maximum motorsports caster camber plates(do I need these?)

Also should I get sub frame connectors? Is there really any difference?

Also how much would it cost to install these parts?

my set up(which i'm extremely please with) and it doesnt cost that much more than what you're talking about now.

what i bought from summit was a package deal of all four corners. it comes with strange adj. shocks n struts, ford racing lowering springs, and hotchkis C/C plates all for 670. you save over 100 dollars buying them this way. although when i bought mine the sales rep swapped out the springs for eibach drag launches and gave me 36% off of those so i got the whole thing for 700 dollars shipped to my door.

as for sub frames i piced up BOI full length subframes for 100 bucks shipped and they came with TQ box reinforcers and the cross braces.

also while you're at it i picked up UPR U/L control arms for 215 bucks w/ new bolts.

just barely a thousand bucks for almost all my suspension complete and she deff hauls and you have a huge range of adjustment. i can go from a caddy to a drag car in the mattter of a minute.
