Norm & Explosive... I found the MMRSB to be a wonderful option, when looking to increase stiffness out back.

I started with the MMRSB #4 which is a slight bit stiffer than the '99~'04 GT bar at its softest setting of 4 positions (can no longer find the chart that explained all this online). Since I wanted more bar, this was the logical place to start. I have gone up to a #5 bar and up to the next to last stiffness setting.

This progression has told me that there is minimal change with the upping of stiffness, but am happy that I didn't have to buy a completely new sway bar EACH time I was unhappy with the result. I also like that the bar works to keep the axle relative to the body, rather than the LCA's to each other. This makes a more consistant response in body roll, when one or the other tires hits a rut or bump during a corner.

Jazzer with an FYI & FWIW post for his pepes

Hahaha! Jazzer reppin' my set!

Anyway, Yep, I think Pro Series uppers and Pro STREET lowers with swaybar tabs are a good street/strip combo!

Back to simple....

The rear control arms you listed are going to be fine for DD and great for 1/4 mile use. They WILL add lots of NVH, but this is the trade-off for upgrade of suspension for hard use.

Does that answer your questions now?
