Sounds like you need to take a bit more intrest in how/why all this stuff works. Not just do something because someone said to. There is no "best" of anything, suspension, engine mods, etc. You need to figure out what's right for you. Start by reading the FAQ at the top of this forum.

Aaron, I think you misunderstood what C.T.S. was trying to tell you. He's basically trying to tell you to follow your own path and not to buy products because someone told you to. Even on here, I could say "Buy Eibachs" cause I like Eibachs but someone else could say "Buy RK Sports" because they like RK Sports...it's all preference.
He's also correct about "the best" this and that. There basically is no such thing as a best product or the best thing to buy when it comes to the "tuner" world. The best thing we can do is give you advice and suggestions but it's up to you to make a decision. If you want to take advice from me cause I've done what you've done and know what to do, than you can listen to me over someone who doesn't own a car and only knows what he reads in magazines...it's up to you to make the common sense decision.
We are all here to help you as long as you want our help. Feel free to post more questions if you have them and don't take anything that we say as an attack but more of trying to steer you in the right direction. If you have more questions, you can contact me as well privately...I don't mind answer questions off of the JBO forums.
Good luck to your suspension project.
