Default Stiffen up chassis?/suspension work?

So I want to kill some flex and get some good launches off, what do you guys recommend?


This is what I've got in terms of suspension so far...

qa1 12 way adjustable rear shocks
kyb quad shocks
racecraft springs
tubular upper and box lower control arms
upr camber/caster plates

I'm thinking about subframe connectors, front strut brace, the one that attachs to the firewall too, and all new suspension bushings. I also want to get rid of some wheel hop.

What else you guys reocmmend? And which brand/where's the cheapest to buy the stuff?

How wide of a tire can I stuff under the rears? I've got 17x8's, 5lug rear disc on the car.

Lastly, what should I have the rear shocks set to for a launch, the car barely squats now...


Thanks
Matt
