RE: suspension????????????????????????
Dude youre talkin lots of cash. Your best bet is this, get eibach sportline springs and either koni reds (adjustable) or Tokico illuminas. Get cobra front and rear sway bars, a strut tower brace and a panhard rod kit. Your car will handle like its on rails. But the MOST important thing after all your mods will be TIRES. Your car can only hang on as well as your tires can grip. Depending on where you live, you might be able to get away with putting autocross tires on there. Be warned though autocross tires are EXTREMLY firm, your ride quality will be out the window.

thats not a bad idea but i thought body roll is when the body shifts a little on the frame bushings and leans with the car in a turn i want my suspension to move but not the body
