Thanks

Get some adjustable lower control arms or non-adjustable with relocation brackets. BMR makes good quality suspension parts. Also look up CHE or Spohn.

Depending on what you have planned for the future, you may want to do an adjustable upper control arm while the car is in the air. This will almost be a necessity if you'll be doing a 1-piece driveshaft later on since you may need to adjust the pinion angle. There is a very good post about this someone on here. The UCA will also provide more durability over the stock UCA and adjustablility is always a plus.
I did the BMR LCAs and relocation brackets in my driveway using jackstands and hand tools (the hose on my air compressor had busted so everything was done with hand tools) with the help of my Dad. A 2nd pair of hands always helps. The install wasn't too bad but the spacers that came with my relocation brackets were too long (way too long) and I had to take a hack saw to them. One of the brackets was also too narrow but I was able to bend it out. Brenspeed was really cool about it and said if i couldn't make it work, they'd take them back, open up another box to make sure they were right, and send me a new pair. You can order any BMR parts from Brenspeed, even if they aren't listed on Brenspeed's website. Go to http://www.bmrfabrication.com/.
If you're only going to be drag racing and not road racing (autocross), then i'd suggest the BMR radiator support/front swaybar delete. It sheds about 26lbs off the front and allows the front to raise up a little more when launching. That was a really simple install.

Darkpath you got your info wrong. Get adjustable lower control arms and get relocation brackets if you plan on lowering your car.
