I would recommend using Global West. Here is what Global West recommended for my setup:
(Front) lower control Arm bushings)
(Rear) Lower Control Arms
Trac-Link Bar which links the rear end to the tranny.

If you get rear upper and lower then you definately need to get a trac-link cause the upper will 'bind' your suspension.

What are you looking to do? Drag race, Carve Corners, or both?

I would call up Global west...they can recommend some good stuff. They want to charge me $2400 for a complete suspension.
FRONT
-----
Lower control arm bushings
680 springs
Double Adjustable Koni's
Caster/Camber plates

REAR
----
Lower Control Arms
Specially designed springs rated by HP
Double Adjustable Koni's
Trac-link Bar

It will be setup for Drag racing, but I can adjust the Koni's for carving corners.

If you are interested in twisties go with the Globe West/SVO lower control arms and the heavy duty SVO uppers. If you are interested in drag racing or if you are on a budget Factory Five Racing makes a real nice quality set of uppers and lowers for $216 shipped to your door. In either case you should also have your torque boxes welded up.

Hope this helps.

nycool,
check out ipschassis.com and look at the grand sport rear suspension. excellent ride, lauches well (1.86 60' on real street tires) and handles beyond belief.
