Depending on what your end goal is for your car (street/Strip, road race). i would go with a set of upper and lower control arms. i would also suggest adjustable if you want to be able to fine tune your rear suspension.

I would go with an UPR rear end kit. most adjustability and best reviews.

i would get uppers and lowers at the same time... make sure to get adjustables so you can do all the cool stuff like set your pinion angle and stuff like that
