GT500 suspension components on a V6 is way overkill
and the suspension will be soo stiff and high it will be
like driving a vehicle with no cornering ability (inner wheel
lift will cause outer wheel lift) will suffer totally.

good plan, if you've ever seen any car race you'll see the pit crews making small adjustments at every pit stop. You never want to make a radical change until you know if the small changes help or hurt. We all use our cars differently and drive on different roads. The sway bars will make a difference. Then look for some good, progressive rate springs if you also drive your car daily. After that pick some good shocks/struts that are suited to how you drive your car. What works for me won't work for you. Good luck ! You're on your way to building the perfect car for your needs.
