Seems I'm gonna go the SPL route. The horrible stories I read about the SPC's, kinetic, and even Z1's very own FUCA's have leave me no choice but to spend more money once and not have to deal with issues later. Wished these SPL's were a little cheaper but oh well... at least they're worth it. Any other SPL parts you recommend?

Thanks in advance Rusty

The main things to get would be the upper control arms, If you change sway bars, the end links. In the rear, camber arms. If your rear diff bushing is shot (leaking). The solid bushing kit or the White Line solid bushing kit.

The front tie rod kit may not allow aftermarket wheels to fit. Depending on width, and offset. Also it would be best to have a race shop set them up to get the bump steer correct. They are not something that you install and forget. You have to play around with them.

Thank you Rusty and yes I have Stillen sway bars installed so I'll get those end links as well. I don't have aftermarket wheels but may get some later so I'll skip on the tie rod.
