Maximum Motorsports LCA's, Bilstein HD's, MM cc plates. I see you already have springs so if your happy with those, I would keep them. Otherwise I would recomend H&R supersports, or if u really want to go all out MM coilovers. The coilovers handle & ride nice, there adjustable of course, & they offer a tremendous weight savings. Also remove the quad shocks if u get some LCA's.

Oh yeah & i almost 4got...A KB 2.6L....LOL (inside joke)

I only threw the coilovers out there as an Idea, but I think your next mod should be LCA's & shocks/struts....

The LCA's will help alot on the launch.

Although i dont think the pro kit drops the car enough for my taste, u will probably be better of @ the strip with the Pro Kit over the H&R. H&R ss's are more for looks rather than launch, & weight transfer.

Definately go with MM. Their stuff is the best quality & it has been proven. I am running a full MM suspension & I love their stuff.....Get the adjustable LCA's with the poly bushings on the chassis end & spherical bearings on the axle end. Bilsteins are my choice 4 shocks/struts.
