sfc's are the best. id go next with the bilsteins or new shocks and springs. then lca's with brackets and a panhard rod. then a tac with lafety loop. then if you are serious, front lower and upper control arms.

What is your goal?
I started with wheels and tires. Unsprung weight reduction and something sticky.
Then I went for springs, shocks, and airbag.
I also removed the front sway bar and put in a six point welded roll bar.
Nothing else needed. 1.5 sixty foot times.

well....
Here's what I did:
1. subframes (BMR)
2. strut tower brace (BMR)
3. front/rear anti-sway bars (BMR)
Next handling mod i'm going to go with is a better rag joint - i hate play in the steering wheel. After that I'm going to go with KYB shocks and BMR springs on all 4 corners .... then after that i'm going to get the biggest fawking wheels/tires my car can handle.....
Other things? traction mods i guess ... LCA's, panhard rod

Also, shocks/springs...which ones? What performance issues do Drag Springs address, and are there any weaknesses? If so, what's a good NON-LOWERING spring? Shocks?

AFAIK, LCA are sold without relocation brackets. Lotsa ppl sell these, you can get the weld in ones or the bolt in ones. I got the bolt on ones and will later weld it for added strength later...
