i wouldnt buy the cpp kit, but thats me. look into the currie stuff. much more expensive, but youll only have to do it once. the currie lower arms arent really needed, but the uppers are. if youre not running a lot of power to the wheels, then the edelbrock uppers (with the copied currie johnny joint) will do just fine.

you need to put a rubber bushing in the housing ears to avoid bind. its also a good idea to put one on one end of the lowers as well.

i bought the umi kit, but now im regretting it. the upper arms are getting a johnny joint on the frame end, and im swapping to rubber bushings in the housing.

if i had it to do over, i would have bought some dom tubing and a couple of johnny joints for the lowers and then bought the currie uppers. mark at sc&c is also coming out with a new swaybar in the next few weeks. it will be adjustable and mount to the crossmember instead of the lower control arms.

also, if youre going to pay the money for a midgrade (great street shock), you might as well get the varishocks vs the qa1's. talk to jon for a good price on these.
