    got my suspension parts in now what

    I just recieved my Bilsteins Damptronics, GMG sway bars, Rear toe links, and rear upper control arms. 

    Now what...?  I have no idea on what setting I should do for the sway bars front/rear as well as the alignment setting I need. 

    I plan to track 4-5 times a year but mostly I am looking for a aggressive aligned suspension for the street.  Comfort is not a big issue as I want to get as gt3 like as possible.   Are the rear upper control arms nessacary?  Am i missing any other suspension parts that would benefit my alignment?DSCN0230.JPG

    I think you should get the front cup control arms as well for 2 reasons: A. To be able to dial in more neg camber in the front, and b. because you have already stiffened up the rear by eliminating a lot of rubber bushings and you need to balance it with some stiffening in the front as well. I also have Rear dog bones and front solid thrust arms for the front that complete the picture..
