It's not the cost of their suspension that's holding me back..............it's the brakes!

Be realistic with your net out of pocket estimates when factoring the front option. When it's all said and done how much more would you be out of pocket if you went with their front subframe setup? And which option will add more performance and resale value to the car?

$4900 list for their front subframe setup.

I already have brand new steering box, rag joint, pitman arm, idler arm, center link, inner and outer tierod ends, heavy duty tierod sleeves, and front sway bar.

So I would be looking at the cost of UCA/LCA plus shocks and springs, or plus coilovers. Somewhere in the $1500-$2000 range.

I can't justify the extra $2900-3400 on a new subframe right now.

In that case, the Speed Tech arms and probably the Ride Tech coilovers. The adjustability of coilovers vs. traditional coil springs is a plus.
