RE: time to start looking at suspension mods
Team Z is another company that makes suspension and chassis components, pretty over the top stuff from what it seems but i don't know anybody who rocks their parts. http://www.teamzmotorsports.net/
the UPR and QA1 k-members are pretty much the same, in fact i heard UPR just selles QA1 products but brands them as their own, i have no idea how true that is though... either one will work great.
that list looks good. only thing that bugs me is this " Lower torque torque boxes Price: $98.99" ...i don't know from wich company you got that ptrice, but UMI selles them for 45$ and i'm betting they're exactly the same. you can get the packaged QA1 kits on ebay.

RE: time to start looking at suspension mods
Not to throw you off course or make you change your mind but I spent about $1,000 in front suspension parts recently and I went UPR all the way. Alot of guys are running UPR stuff in drag racing. Everything fit PERFECTLY and i didnt have to modify 1 peice on the car. The kmember was light enough that I was able to do it all myself which was great. I went with Strange 10-way adjustable shocks up front for my coilover kit, with upr caster/camber plates.
When im ready to do the back im going with UPR double adjustable uppers and UPR solid lowers. For springs ill just probably do the moroso drag springs as the class im going to run in wont let me run coilovers in the back

RE: time to start looking at suspension mods
well you're stuck buying a set of four springs anyway so you can just put the shocks/struts and springs right away, it'll make a very nice difference... then work your way into as budget permitts.

RE: time to start looking at suspension mods
for what u want i would rock the upr stuff.
team z would kill ur budget more than likely and more than what you would need
i think MM is over priced and over rated.
for flat out drag i would use team z or wolfecraft racing in a heart beat
