i have a set of steeda rear lowering springs, gms front coil-overs, upr shark c/c plates, upr control arms, all which i practically given to me except the control arms. im looking into mm subframes and a front and rear sway bar set up and pan hard later. idealistically i want a 1.5 in drop being im on 18x9s. i have energy suspension bushing kit for the rear. will be purchasing for the front along with steeda bumpsteer kit. im not a speedster i like handling and having fun. im thinking of not using the gms coilovers but needing a set of lowering springs up front. fox kyb gas struts/shocks. torque box reinforcements. anything im missing can someone help out. i havent installed anything yet cause i was in the middle of transferring and before i piece it up id like to have everything installed at once. all done by me except the camber/tow alignment.

that's a good list of stuff to start with.
MM"s XL subs are great, strongest and well priced.

good call on the GMS fronts, I had them and took them off a few weeks later. upgraded to MM's coilovers.
the Panhard will definatley make a huge difference when you get there.

I suggest you read this: http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=19837.0

Torque box is a no no, and solid uppers. read above and let me know what you think. :santa_smiley:

well i have been reading quite a bit on many sites, forums. i'm doing my research. i def wanna get it lowered but i need a set of springs for up front. im saving every bit i can to accomplish this by spring. also, ive been reading about ppl removing the isolators and how does that really affect the suspension other than deleting metal/metal contact? every bit of info helps.

I hear it causes squeaks. I didn't do it personally.

Also, the UCA's and torque box reinforcements create more damage than good.

most ppl remove the isolators BC they want that little bit lower ride.
some say it squeaks, some say it's fine.
