Default suspension checklist

hey guys, just wanted to run my suspension list that i plan on doing by you guys for some input. I currently have eibach pro kit, kyb agx 8 way adjustable gas shocks/struts. My goals for the car when im done are 450-500rwhp. The car is just a street/fun car, so nothing too serious. Here is what I plan to do:

MM strut tower brace
MM caster camber plates
steeda aluminum non adjustable lower/upper control arms
MM full length subframe connectors
NItto 555R radials out back

How does that look, anything im missing that you think would be vital? thanks guys

Looks good. I'd always throw in a MM PHB cuz they really do tighten it up and make corners more predictable if a little looser.

Also... don't like aluminum LCA's for anything but race cars. MM's RLCA's are my first and only choice/recommendation.

ive heard with the panhard bar though that you should run a torque arm, which means id have to dump my exhaust. and i honestly dont want to have to go through all of that. and why dont you recommend aluminum control arms for a street car? what are rlca's??

torque arm is not required. an MM PHB will allow you to continue using your tailpipes but you may have to adjust the pipes a little. It's a tight fit but I know it can work...I've set it up before.

will a phb make that much of a difference if i was to just do the list i originally stated. I'm just asking because i dont want to spend that kind of money and not notice a difference on just a street car. the car isn't a drag car or anything of that sort.

while it does induce a little bind it really does make a huge difference in knowing where the rear end will slide when it finally decides to. Makes things a lot more linear on the way to zero traction.. instead of snap oversteer.
