Default RE: Tell me if I got it all.

You might check out the Steeda Upper Adjustable front strut mounts (555-8120).

Also you didn't mention doing an alignment.

If you are going with the UCA look at the Steeda Adj plus mount 555-4109. After installling it along with the rest of the stuff listed bleow there is no more axle hop or windup - even with the SC.

Hi whatdaproblemis0,

What brand, model and size tires are you running on those 20's? One of the most critical parts of the handling picture is the wheels and tires. With20" wheels you are shooting yourself in the foot perfromance wise. But if you have to have 20's you have to buy the best tires to get the most out of your suspension. Does it snow where you live? Is this a daily driven car? Are you serious about handling performance or are you more a cruiser? Do you show your car? I know you don't track it. Is noise vibration and harshness an issue? Do you want ride comfort or control? Get back to us and I'm sure you will get a lot of good opinions to help you decide where to go with your suspension build up.

Cheers!
