Yes it comes with the sway bar end link assembly. Ball joint does come with a grease fitting. These are the race version so they are coil over only. I’m going with the recommend Viking hybrid coil over.

"The amount of caster set into the chassis depends on two factors:


The amount of weight on the front wheels and the feel of the steering effort to the driver.


The amount of positive caster depends a great deal on the speed of the race track and the amount of weight on the vehicle front end. The lighter the weight on the front end, the greater the amount of positive caster.


For example, a Porsche road racing car with only 40% front weight may have 61/2 degree positive caster where as a NASCAR stock car with 51% front weight may have only 31/2 to 4 degrees positive caster with both cars running on the same track. Race cars that weigh 3500 pounds and more, front caster angles run between 3 and 5 degrees positive.


The more positive caster a car has, the greater the straight line stability it will have. The car will have greater high speed stability and require less constant attention on the part of the driver. The faster the track gets in terms of speed, the greater the positive caster setting.


Cars running at Daytona and Talladega have as much as 41/2 to 51/4 degrees of positive caster on the RF wheel. On shorter tracks where speeds are more moderate, the RF caster is from 3 to 33/4 degrees positive


Another factor to consider is the steering device you maybe using. (i.e. force feedback) The more positive caster the more feedback you will feel as a driver. More caster can also provide a more difficult steering effort, especially with a force feedback wheel.


So why not crank the caster positive as far as it will go? Because too much positive caster also has it’s drawbacks. When you turn a car left with positive caster the LF rises while the RF drops. This changes the weight on all 4 corners of the car. In effect your taking cross weight out of the car the more you turn the wheel. The more positive the caster, the more cross weight there is being removed. The more cross weight you remove the looser the car will get."

check out spohn performance a arms great quality and great price i think u will be impressed

😂 I got of list of “not yet’s” myself. haha!

-if you haven’t made a decision on what suspension set up yet, from my personal research and talking to everyone I ran into with aftermarket suspension set ups, I narrowed it down To UMI or Ridetech. This is from personal opinion based on ride alongs in cars with different aftermarket set ups and driving conditions.

I’m going to go with UMI set up with the Viking coil overs. Felt like riding in a brand new car. And handled a lot better than I expected. Exactly what I’m looking for my daily driver.

the ride tech set ups i experienced seemed to be a bit More of a rigid ride, yet still not feeling like a track car. Most of the auto-X people i ran into loved their ridetech set ups. And I agree. Ride felt loose, but with full control.
I’ll start a thread once I order the UMI set up.
