Ultimate handling 4.0?
 
What mods will it take to have the ultimate handling 4.0? Some handling mods I know of are:
-Big sway bars(front and Rear) $380-$400
-Tubular panhard rod -$100
-Upper Panhard Rod Support-$110(worth it?)
-Larger Tires/Rims(17's or 18's I think are big enough) $varies
-Aftermarket Rear upper and lowercontrol arms(already have)
-Subframe connectors(not sure if they're worth it, but I have them)
-Strut tower brace(I have)
-Lowering springs/kit(I wouldn'twant to do b/c where I live has a lot of bumps and potholes in the road)
-Make our cars have a 50/50 weight distribution(we are about 53.5/46.5 now)-so take110lbs~ off the front of the car or take some weight off front of car and add to back(subs and an amp)
Any other ideas? I am also confused on what these things will do for my car other than weight reduction:
-Tubular K-member
-Tubular A-arms
Thanks ahead of time for any comments on these parts or help!

Do yourself a favor, and get a saleen watts link. It's worth every penny.

I would look into a wattslink setup if you want to go all out.

I can't find a watts set-up for the V6's though?

I'll google the k-member and a-arms. I already looked up info on everything else on the list.

Suspension options are the same on all S197's, be it V6 or GT. You can use the watts components for both cars equally. Sniper308 just ordered the watts setup for his car.

It says GT, and sniper I just read has the 8.8" rear end. Does that mean it will not fit my lsd V6 rear end? I'm a little confused with that? Thanks for the help!
