The H-O/Malibu stuff has massive sway bars that might not be for everyone. Check out Hotchkiss (buy from Summit, etc.) and Global West (http://www.globalwest.net) for alternative philosophies. They use stiffer springs and milder sway bars for less interaction between the sides of the car. It depends on the surfaces you will be on and your driving styles. I have had the H-O springs and Disk Brake kit, and have since upgraded to the Global West heavy duty springs (500 lb/in?), upper A-Arms, front sway bar, rear tubular control arms, and NO rear sway bar. No matter what you do, I heartily recommend the big brake and upper A-Arm conversion! Much better braking and better handling to boot.
