67 Cutlass suspension upgrade

I am looking to buy these suspension parts for my 67 Cutlass Supreme. It is basically stock situation, just looking to improving the handling and ride. Would like some opinions on these upgrades before I lay out all that cash. Thanks!!

I installed the same UMI tubular control arms only, bought as a kit, and added their rear sway bar. I felt I did not need the frame brackets.
Norm (Vintage Chief) and I basically did this around the same time and both like the products. Click on the link below for my thoughts and install.
This winters project, rear suspension and locker install - ClassicOldsmobile.com

I would wait on buying the front sway bar and just replace the links and front rubber bushings if needed on your old one. You'll find that just doing the rear is a dramatic improvement.

^x2^
That's what I did. Replaced the front links & front rubber bushings during the rebuild. As Eric stated - just doing the rear was a big improvement.

Would like to thank both for your input!! Eric, your link to your "Winter Project" sold me on going with the rear kit, just got done ordering it. Thanks, again.
