Viking smooth body shocks are very good, and are about $250ea. When you buy the set, it's under $1k.

Not sure what wheels you were looking at for $750ea, the Ridler, US Mag, and even some American Racing wheels are under $250ea.

The GW springs are quality, and the QA in regards to linear rate is excellent. Most spring manufacturers use a tolerance of @ 10%, the GW springs are <5%.

Not going to get into coilover or variable rate spring topic, but if you do your homework, you will see they are inferior to standard coil spring.

I'm not going to get into the tall ball joint debate either, but will say my personal opinion is they do not provide the performance one would expect.

The CTA-42A uppers are quality pieces and a lot of design effort went into them. They work, near zero deflection.

As I mentioned in other threads, the knock-off lower tubular control arms are way better than OE, and well worth the money. Just change the ball joint and you're good. Best $200 you can spend where you're at now.

Make sure you have the recommended psi & flow rate for the Borg box, or you will not be too happy with it. If it's in question, call and ask for a matching pump. Flow valves are a bag of worms for the 800 series boxes. Borg makes direct replacement pumps, it's a no-brainer to match with the box.
