Have some suspension parts, what else do I need?

Hi, I'm piecing together my suspension and have recently aquired:

Spohn LCA

Coil and Shocks Ford Racing M-2005-FR3

I realize I'll need a adjustable panhard bar, and adjustable UCAs, but what's good without breaking the bank, and what else may I need in order to firm up the suspension?

Thanks,
-danny

how much of a drop do those springs give? If its more than an inch you may need a bumpsteer kit and lca relocate brkts.

Ford advertises a 1.5" drop. Is Bumpsteer a big issue with a drop?

With over 1" drop you should go with steeda X5 balljoints to bring the front roll-center back to spec(18"wheels required) or do the Bumpsteer. This is something I plan on doing next. Also rear lower control arm relocation brackets should be done to bring the rear geometry back to spec. Also you may need an adj UCA to get the driveline angle to spec. Here is a link about lowering http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=60937
