Default need help choosing parts

i am getting ready to add the following components to my 93 Z28 and i need a little help on which ones to buy
i've looked at the different manufacutres but the more i look the more confused i get as to which one to go with

here's a list of what i want to add
strut tower brace
subframe connectors
control arm relocation brackets ( if needed )
drive shaft loop
shocks and springs

keep in mind that this is not a daily driver but a weekend cruiser and occasional track (1/8th mile drag) car
any and all input is appreciated

go with strano springs. i think he has koni shocks on sale and are the best. welded subframe connectors are best, name is not that important so long as its not cheap china stuff. i used spohns. same goes for the shock tower brace. i would recomend the crossbar mounted torque bar with a shaft loop.

Shocks (Koni SAs on any lowered car and/or V8), Sways (Strano), Springs (Strano) first -- they all make the biggest difference.

STB (Hotchkis is lightest or UMI)/SFCs (UMI) welded will help with cornering and putting power to the pavement.

As for anything else, call Sam Strano -- Strano Performance Parts - Parts Catalog -- get some great advice, and he can take your orders too.

Since you seem to like and desire handling, add a Fays 2 Watts Link to your list, after the above...

bd92rs - What's your budget? If you're looking for a complete suspension package, we have a great suspension kit or you can get the parts you want separately.
