I think I am planning on getting the following suspension parts, all from BMR:

Upper and lower contol arms
Panhard bar
Rear sway bar

What differences can I expect with the above mods? How will these mods effect the ride? Road noise?

My car is purely street driven and I don't race, so I not looking to go too far with suspension mods, but I would like some improved handling around town. Am I covering a lot of the basic key areas for improvement with the stock suspension? Any other parts to consider?

 

This looks like a good set of mods.

As for road noise, it's not bad unless you buy the "Race" type LCAs with heim joints on both ends. Those transmit a lot of road noise. But the "Street" type are fine.

I would strongly consider the BMR panhard bar brace as well. In inexpensive and it's very easy to install. All in all, it's a minimal cost for some more tightning up of your handling.

I wouldn't expect any side effects worth noting with these parts installed. Perhaps a tiny bit more road noise, but it won't be a lot.

 

Frankly, i wouldnt mess with control arms... save your money... but if you do go this route, get the control arms with the urethane bushings...
