I am looking at going road racing this year also. I have a 92 coupe that already has a t trim vortech and power pipe. UPR adjustable upper and lowers and KB frame connectors and adjustable QA1 shocks. The car has a auto tranny and looking to replace with a 6 speed. Car has 3:73 gears and a locker.I want to set this car up so it is like on rails. Can you buy Baer brakes that will just bolt right on??? Will doing the suspension mods help the high speed stability??(front end light feeling) Any help is well appreciated

Unless you have a stroker, first thing to do is get rid of the t trim. On a stock engine the rpm band is not so great, sometimes they make great peak power, but suck down low in the mid range. An S should be plenty good.
The baer kit will bolt on, but it's expensive, and IMO going 5 lug and using sn95 off the shelf parts will be cheaper than tearing up expensive baer rotors.

Suspension mods help at all speeds. I don't see where you mention lowering springs, they will make a major difference.

griggs and maximum motorsports pretty much are the best stuff you can buy, just spend wisely, because the stuff is not cheap.

I am sure by the time I am done my car will be a maximum motorsports spokesmodel lol. I am really considering buying the maximum grip package from MM and selling the stuff I have on the car now. By next spring I will have a 331 stroker in the car also.My brother and I are competing against each other he has a 94 GT with no mods yet . He told me once he is done modding he will wipe the floor with me. I just can't let this happen.
