        1st thing I would do is LCA's, and Sub frame connectors.. I have tubular bmr lca.. they were 100.00 and I have weld on tubular subframe connectors I got from MAC for 118.00..

          i suggest boxed/tubular control arms, control arm relo brackets(i suggest adjustable arms if you do this) tubular panhard, and an after market torque arm(random tech/bmr/slp bolt in's are great bang for the buck.
          sub frame connectors are alwasy a good idea if you plan to use the car to it's limits regularly. they will help with teh cars performance and help to make it live a long happy life at teh saem time.
          these mods will help you with cornering and straight line performance. upgraded sways/shocks/springs are all great, but you will have to start trying to compromise for either handling or drag depending on what else you plan to do with teh car.

            lca's for sure is first. after that, i heard that a phr does wonders, but i have no experience to back that up.

                  Go to Extreme Performance in OKC and order the BMR LCA's and a Pan Hard rod.

                          i got the chrome-moly tubular poly/rubber lca's. they improved traction tremendously. i supposed if u went all out drag u could run poly/poly or rod-ended and be better off. the tubular one's look good too, and chrome-moly is lighter than the stock pieces.

                            ok, i was looking at poly/poly ones. if i used those for every day driving and drag, i wouldn't hurt anything right?
