Please Respond FINAL decision on suspension!
I am ordering my start out suspension parts to help for when I start going to the track sometime tonight or tomorrow. This is what I have concluded and need to do any final changes now! Okay here it is: Eibach Sportlines, Metco adjustable lower control arms, and finally a Steeda panhard bar. I plan on ordering this by the end of tomorrow and wan't to know some final opinions. Please give me some comments asap!

You can easy back on the bump reins a little... most normal people have been asleep for awhile. 
If improvement for tracking is your main objective, I'd do shocks before springs, but ideally both, and I wouldn't do Sportlines without the Tokicos.

Any more comments? Adding the Tokico's will do nothing for me other than giving me a smoother ride. I do not plan on adding those any time soon or maybe even at all.

Look, honestly, you know what people will tell you about about adding a stiffer spring like Eibach with the stock shocks. The shocks are not valved to match the springs thus creating a very hard, and bouncy ride. It may not be apparent until you put about 10k on the car, but it will happen. If the ride is no obstacle, go for it.
This has been discussed and discussed on this board and many others. That is why nobody has responded. Good luck with the suspension and post pics when you are done.

You will definitely regret not getting the Tokico's your ride will get worse and worse the more miles you put on it and sooner or later something will break. I read about 6 to 8 months ago somebody had broke off of a endlink at the front strut they had pictures to prove it I don't remember who it was but I do know they had the Sportlines also thats what made me start upgrading my suspension along with the stiff a** ride. You should PM F1Fan he could help you out he is very knowledgeable on this subject. I just have 10 month experience with my Sportlines.
