Default Next upgrade - Rear suspension

New front end - check
New front brakes - check
Refurb headers & pipes - check
New race radiator - check

So we're handling and stopping a little better - but the rear end is pretty sloppy. Bushings are shot and it just looks in need of an overhaul. Hey, why stop with the front end right?

So now I need to rebuild the rear end. Lower and upper stabilizer arms are stamp type (old Mustang II??). I'm looking at Heidts, Moroso,

Uppers are 9" and lowers are 17 1/2" bolt to bolt. The shocks at the lower end are mounted on bolts and at the top are in u-shaped brackets. I'm not too keen on the lower setup as it doesn't seem too stable to me.

The coil overs are shot as well.

Any suggestions? BTW this is a B&B (LA Exotics) kit with a box steel frame and welded in cockpit floor. I've attached a pic of the current lower end of the strut.
