Monroe gas magnums are fair performers up to around 1" diameter T-bars and are $30 per. The stock shocks will be totally overwhelmed.
11/16 tie rods and ends. Mehh, I'd save the money here and just replace your 9/16 ends. Unless you're pushing it to the limit, you aren't defelcting these enough t o justify the cost, IMO. FWIW, 9/16 ends will sustain 5g worth of loading before they fail. Any gains here are in the solid sleeves compared to the stock split sleeve. If you are adamant about solid sleeves, get swedged steel tubes from Speedway for $20 each instead of forking over big buck for billet sleeves.
Energy Suspension strut rod polyurethane - check tolerance stack up with these and how the effect your lower control arm seating position. These are often too thick and make the lower arm sit further back making caster even harder to achieve.
Fast ratio stuff, I like it. It does help with low sped maneuvering. Is unnecessary for high speed stuff.
Lock and seal kit, unless you stock ones are trashed, no need to get new ones.
Hmm, so buy a cheapo set of Monroe gas magnums. I can do that.
As for the tie rod ends, the 11/16s are actually cheaper than the 9/16s, so I figure the upgrade will actually save me money.
With the money saved, I can buy a set of the billet sleeves, I suppose, or a set of swedged steel tubes from Speedway. Not sure what length I'd need, though. I suppose I can measure the length of the stock ones.
I understand that the urethane strut rod bushings probably aren't necessary. Don't want to mess up alignment specs.
I don't know what my stock pieces look like on the torsion bars. I'll be under the car on Saturday and will evaluate.
Thanks for the tips!
