Default suspension questions

OK looks like in the next couple weeks i'll be ordering some suspension stuff. here is a list of stuff i'm looking at would like to hear opinions.

Koni Yellows
Steeda ultra lights
steeda upper control arm
steeda lower control arms
steeda adjustable panhard bar
gt500 strut mounts
camber bolts

the lower and upper control arms ( upper arm is adjustable i believe) are the basically stop the hop kit from steeda.
not sure if i should go with the ultra lite or sport springs.

also not sure which way to go with sway bars, any suggestions?

next winter i'll probably do more in terms of chassis stiffening.

ok the konis are good, i have steeda sports and i really like them. you dont realy need the adjustable lowers to be honest but an adjustable upper cant hurt but steeda stuff though it may be good is to expensive sometimes. go on summit and look at competeition engineering for the panhard bar much cheaper and a really nice piece. the gt500 mounts are necessary indeed and i needed 2 sets of bmr camber bolts to get my sports aligned correctly.

The sways you need to get get something that works well with the rest of the kit, keep the front and rear the same brand. I got a GT500 set for under $75 and strapped them on and love them. Adj sways isn't really needed either. Also bigger isn't always better keep in mind with sways.
