I'm getting into going to the strip and AutoX this summer. I was wondering if upgrading the suspension with Eibach Pro Kit springs, Tokico blue shocks, Strut tower brace, and shock tower brace. Would this set up be good enough for both or is there something I should add or change?

Subframes and 3.55 gears.

I'd recommend different springs if you're thinking about auto-x since the Pro-Kits hardly increase the spring rate at all over stock.

Aw damn, I forget about the 7.5 thing. You HAVE to run stock gears, you can't go any shorter unless you want to run in a class that will cost you a good bit to stay competitive in. If you're running a stock class, you can't even add subframes. I don't think you can run strut braces either, but I haven't looked at a rule book in a while.
