Cus it wont really help you at this point to do the suspension stuff for at the track unless you can launch without fearing snapping an axle. So just something else to think about.
I'm pretty sure he's not a track guy. Built rear end is a little overkill for a street car and way out of his budget.

Dads freakin out, Im going to get rid of some stuff to lower the price. No swaybars or upper CA's, Maybe no strut tower brace. He says I should just buy a CAI lol.

I wouldn't blow that much on the CAI. I would get front coil overs and then rear control arms from MM and some full length sub frame connectors. Also some new rear shocks and then take off your quads. Would give you a great start. Wish I had more cash myself, that's where I would start.

^ If you got that you would need to upgrade to FLSFCs. If you just want to make your car ride well, why not just get shocks/struts, CC plates, FLSFCs. Then with the extra money left over get a STS and gears like you were thinking about. That would make your car more bad ass then now.

I would love to have that kit personally. You can always ship it to me But yeah if t doesn't have full length sube frames you can get them for an extra like 175 bucks. I would go for that it you are seriously wanting a better handling car.

Those darn MM links are a bit tricky, so SB-7 for those that can't find it

Will be honest and say not a huge fan of that kit either. Would also like to see some good poly/spherical LCA's and a torque-arm to rid yourself of the darn ULA's. With this kit, looks like you would continue to use a single UCA on the passenger side and is a real short-cut to a torque-arm.

It would be much improved with the addition of the TA and LCA's
