Just ordered my new suspension. what yall think?


So with my tax return i put a new suspension on order. hopefully i will be able to hook up in 1st and 2nd now:
-Strange 10-way shocks
-Steeda adjustable uppers
-MM weight jacker lowers
-Moroso trick springs

I wanted to get the upper kit from baseline suspension **********************THE BEST Upper Control Arm Kit on the market********************** but im stationed in germany and they dont ship to military addresses.

ill be posting pics and reviews once i get them installed.

From a what I've seen, you have to be making a lot of power to make that baseline stuff work anyways.

It looks like a good list. I have MM lower control arms and UPR adj upper control arms, and it hooks pretty good, course my car is pretty much stock, lol. I'll be getting some Strange 10 ways too this spring.

Got some pics of the parts:






I installed them friday but i didnt have my camera with me, ill post pics of them installed later. overall im very satisfied so far, ride is a little stiffer but not unbearable. havent had a chance to try a hard launch because its still snowing over here.
