Suspension Gurus. School me.
Ok. Here is where i'm at and where I am going.
-Where I am at 2012 GT/CS Eibach Pro kit, Eibach camber bolts and a BMR panhard bar.
-Where I am going. Eibach Pro kit S/S, upper and lower control arms, Eibach front and rear sway bar, one piece drive shaft, Steeda 3 point sub frame connectors.
Here are my questions.
1-As it sits now the pinion angle is not effected a great deal with what I have done. But since I am upgrading the entire suspension I will be getting adjustable control arm(s). Should I get adjustable lowers, uppers or both?
2- This is an aggresively driven street car. Are standard sway bars good or should I run adjustables on those as well?
Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Which "one piece" driveshaft are you buying? A true one piece with a CV joint at one end you don't have to do anything with the pinion angle. A fake "one piece" with the slider and two universal joints you have to align and then it still might vibrate.

1 - If this is just your daily driver and you don't track it, I would go with non-adjustable LCAs. I would recommend an adjustable upper, but a fixed upper is fine if the adjustable is not in your budget. (also depends on your purposes)
2 - Good question, this largely depends on your budget when it comes to a street car. The good thing about adjustables is you can adjust them to how stiff you want them, but it may be slightly overkill for just a daily driver.
Let me know if I can setup a package deal for you. Our parts are made in the USA and feature a lifetime warranty. We are also ISO 9001:2008 certified which is basically a quality control certification stating we consistently make high-quality parts.
