I would do full length SFC's before you add anymore traction in the rear. You may want to beef up your torque boxes too. I run street tires and only put out about 220hp to the wheels... today when my car was on the lift I noticed a crack in my torque boxes and had to weld it up. Go figure.

MM adj. uppers control arms? Didn't know they made those... A panhard bar won't hurt but improves cornering traction, not really straight line traction. I don't know what your intentions are for the car.

First things first, what kind of tires are you running?

It's not a bad tire for traction and handling. I have the Kumho 712's right now and the grip is okay, but I think I'm going with Drag Radials when I buy new tires. I almost never go to the strip, but I still need the extra traction for the way I like to drive.

Check out Maximum Motorsports website and read about some of the parts. Then, give them a call tomorrow and see what they think you should use.
