well depends how much he wants to spend cause they can be very pricey. But the best kit I know of that can handle driving the streets is the Maximum Motorsports K-Member kit, it comes with everything you need for your front supsension. You can also buy it alone too, for like 600.

absolutelly not , when you hit a corner hard, the initial shock will flex the rubber junk and once your car settles into the turn , i will come back you will compensate for it while turning you will feel it, get poly or a solid ones , mm offers them and many others , your toe in turns will change like i said when you initally load it , dont use the stock ones , unless your more into a comfortable ride lol, also mm has a write up on not useing offset rack bushings unless you know you are bump steer is excessive ,
