OK pros, Advice on good street handling set up.

Current mods are-
STB, BMR SFC, and a panhard rod with poly bushings. SS rims 275/40/17 Bridge stone RE730's
I still want to beable to take a date out in my car without scaring the **** out of her
Now here are my thoughts and questions

I will go with Blistein shocks if I have the money after my engine mods but which ones are the best for a street use? HD? I'll have my stock stock springs in there still.
Sway bars.... 32mm SLP and a 21mm 1LE were on my list.
Lower control arms with poly bushings from Tbryne. (only pulling 2.3 60 footers)

So whatcha yuh professionals think?

Also... im kinda curious as of what kind of skidpad numbers my car should put down with its current set up and then with its future set up? Do you think .87 is reasonable on a 300ft skip pad currently? Cars a T-top with full options.

You have a good shock choice. Just dont get the SLP bilstiens, get the HD's. As far as springs, I think that the Eibach Pro-kit is phenomenal. You will not be disappointed. The front sway bar sounds good. I wouldn't get a new one for the back. Just keep the stocker. That should do it for you. BTW, I wouldn't worry much about skid pad numbers. They don't tell you much. Hope this helps,

Brian

yeah its helps. Im just getting a feel for what i want and what i should get.
Why do u suggest leaving the stock sway bar for the back? The eibach kit actually lowers teh car right? cant lower it cuz i have ground effects on her..

Cool Suspension set up

What you have and planned is fine for the street. Skid pad #'s will be affected most by the tires in use and for street use salom is more important.
