I'm not saying that just because you use one manufactures stuff on the whole car the car will be perfect...I recently worked on a car that had awesome chassis and suspension products built by one single company and once all the measurements that i described earlier where gone over I still had to fix some issues with stuff within allowable parameters....there suspension required tall lower ball joints and the steering rack to be moved upwards different springs than they sold in there kit along with a shock valving change and a bumpsteer kit....

and after that the car was easier to drive and neutral ....that owner is very happy now

its not easy
