So what did you decide? I'm looking into something similar so I'm just curious.

Great choice. After messing around with a couple of different progressive rate spring sets I'm back to my tried and true Steeda ultralite front and competition rear setup. The progressive rate springs just have too much 'bounce' and irregular handling traits for my liking. A nice linear rate spring like the steeda sport/ultralite/comps and shocks valved correctly for the spring rate can't be beat.

The stock swaybars on our cars aren't bad but upgrading those will bring a smile to your face once you have the springs, dampers, and camber plates installed. A good set of adjustable swaybars seems to tie everything in together once you have the rest upgraded.

That's exactly what I was thinking......after I get these parts installed I am going to look into upgrading the sway bars.

Items headed your way Shella. And when you are ready for swaybars, I have a killer set of those too.

Let me know if you need anything!

I have nothing but praise for this set-up, I run it with no complaints, just about as supple as stock when cruising, but can get down and play when you turn up the volume to 11.
