When I bought my car it had a strut tower brace and 3.55s installed. The rear end was (and still is) shot and the best 60fts I could get out of it were about 2.2. Since then, I've added H&R Super Sport Springs, Bilstein HD Shocks and Struts, subframe connectors and 245/50/16 Fuzion ZRi tires. The rear end still sucks, but now my 60fts are about 2.1. The car spins real bad and I can hardly launch it at all. Also, on those nice, tight on/off ramps we have here in Nashville, I notice the rear end steering the car more than I'd like. It moves around a lot, especially exiting a bend.

So, I guess the next few things on the shopping list are LCAs and a torque arm along with a rebuild for the rear end. Several guys at the racetrack recommended the Lakewood LCAs to me, and I'm inclined to go with the Maximum Motorsports torque arm. I'm really looking to shave some time off the 60fts and keep the car more stable during hard cornerning. Does my shopping list look OK, or is there other stuff I'm missing or specific parts you've had good luck with and recommend?
