You might also want to get poly front control arm bushings. They will keep the suspension from deflecting under hard cornering, and a kit will come with poly bushings for the sway bar and end links. I've experienced the difference on two cars and it was very noticeable. If you are doing springs you might as well do bushings now, especially if you have to rebuild your front end. PST, performance suspension technology sells a fr. end kit w/ polygraphite bushings for 159 for our cars. Just type p-s-t to do a search.

I also have the Pro-Kit Springs,KYB's,Lakewood Adjustable Panhard and Control Arms,though I'm using a Ground Control Strut-Tower Brace and Caster/Camber Adjusters.I've been very satisfied with all of the above.
KYB's are, in my opinion, the best shock you can get for less than $100 apiece.
The Lakewood Control Arms and Adjustable Panhard Bar are,in my opinion, just as good as the Hotchkis ones at half the price.
I have the Global West Del-A-Lum A-Arm Bushings,which I think are much better than polyurethane.I used to run the Herb Adams Steel Bushings up front, but I don't know if they're still available.
You might also want to look into caster/camber adjusters if you want your front tires to last on your lowered F-body.

I have the Lakewood stuff and the Eibachs and they work great. I would strongly recommend the Bilstein shocks. It's a bit more money but worth it now. Replace your front control arm bushings with poly (it is a royal PITA) and the ball joints (Moog makes a heavy duty unit.)

Of all the things you are doing, the springs and shocks make the most difference. Don't skimp on the shocks.

1)Search Ebay for control arms--you will find 2 different offerings. They may say they are for LS1/LT1, but if you look at the description, they are for 3rd gens as well. The two auctions are identical--they are for brand new billet aluminum rear lower control arms. $125 for either set--GREAT DEAL

Plus, search for that panhard and you will get a billet aluminum rod by the same company. Again, it may say LS1/LT1 on the search result page, but click on it and look at the description--it fits your car. The is also an auction for a Global West Panhard. Either one is about $100 last time I looked (no one had bid yet and they had been there a couple days, I don't think anyone will)

All of the items are adjustable and have rod ends with aircraft bearings--top of the line products!

I'd buy them myself, but I'm going to save more money and make my own chrome moly parts with rod ends.

2)BMR (bmrfabrication.com or something, search google for "bmr performance") makes good products for less than a lot of companies charge. The make all of the products you are asking about. If I were you, I would get parts with rod ends with aircraft bearings, not poly bushings.
