Any replacement parts are going to compliment your setup better then 15 year old stock parts. Even a OE replacement sensatrac.

I dont know your exact situation but I wouldnt go crazy on adjustables and all that jazz if you were just trying to flip the car..

Just talking, are you trying to sell it? Does it sit around most of the time? Are you really going to turn those adjustment knobs more then twice or is it a novelty that is going to wear off fast?

Not ball breaking but ive seen it happen a ton. Ive installed adjustables on cars and trucks because the owners have wanted the ability to "tune the ride" only to see the knobs rusted in place from sitting/never moving.

A few years back I bought a bunch of new suspension equipment and a couple years ago installed it (hah hah hah). I went from stock everything to UMI torque arm/panhard/LCAs with reloc brackets and a wolfe 6 point bar welded in. I got the UMI subframes too but they are currently modding my garage wall. When it came to springs and shocks/struts I grabbed some kind of OE eibach spring from Alex Q (Firehawk factory spring maybe? Idk hell if i remember) and the matching bilstein shocks.

The result is a nice handling ride thats not to hard but GREATLY better then stock.

A recap: Buy whats going to fit your needs for the amount of time your in the car. Is it a DD? You (like me) have not been to the track in years, so I would look at building it to improve it overall, not just for the occasional trip to the track.

Just my .02

PS If your going to ask me how my suspension only upgrades helped me at the track..ill "let you know in the spring". ;p
