Default Eibach kit for 12 GT

I am looking to buy http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach...stem-1112.html

I am also looking at the HD strut mount upgrade and a adj. panhard.

With a 1" and 1.5" drop should I invest in a upper control arm?

I have the brembo kit which comes with Ford Racing control arms.... Just curious if I need the upper to adjust pinion angle.

My last questions:

What are the benefits to a adj. front sway bar?
Bumpsteer needed with drop? My 99 with cut c springs had bad bump steer... http://www.americanmuscle.com/steeda...steer-kit.html
Steeda ball joints? Should I buy them? http://www.americanmuscle.com/steeda...ints-1112.html


I've done suspension in the past and went the cheap route... Considering this a new car, I want to do it right the first time.

This is my DD - It will not any tracks.
Thanks

I have the pro-kit and did not upgrade the UCA for about 1-2 years after I did them, didn't have any issues. As far as the bump steer and ball joints I didn't do any of those either, but I do have a little bump steer. If you want to do it right the first time might as well knock it all out at once.

I plan to get 9" rims up front - assuming bumpsteer will be felt. Bumpsteer kit it is

Thanks for the input, your stance looks great!

With a 1" drop in front I wouldn't worry about bumpsteer. I have Steeda Sports and the bump steer isn't noticeable. What is, is the damping ability (if you can call it that) of the D-spec dampers... They are quite "firm" over sizeable bumps...

Thanks - no bumpsteer kit here then, unless I find a steal.
