Koni SA shocks. IMO get weld-in SFC's instead of a STB, or if you already have SFC's get an adjustable PHB, already got that to...then get some LCA's.

BTW, I like the Hotchkis STB myself.

I assume SLP Bilstein (that's what the SS has) but someone might have a better option for you. As far as STB goes they are all pretty much the same. Just get one you like the look of and call it a day.

You will need to get sway bars too for body roll control. Strano has the best setup for those too. They are hollow 35mm/22mm and will reduce unsprung weight.

Save the $$$ on STB as they really do nothing on these cars....

Hello
I just wanted to leave you know that UMI Performance offers a strut tower brace to help reinforce them and also control chassis flex. But I also noticed you didn't mention anything about having or wanting a adjustable pan hard bar. And anytime you lower a vehicle it is a must have....to allow you to recenter the rear end back under the vehicle. And I would also suggest a set of relocation brackets to allow you to adjust the LCA back to the correct angle to gain back all of your traction performance and help eliminate wheel hop. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer!

I'd say if you're road coursing it then get some adj. Konis. As for the STB, get any 2-point one, don't get a 3-point because they can crack the windshield, but you won't notice the difference the STB gives you. Although people do say when you put it on you don't notice, but once you take it off you can.

M6's hold up MUCH better for this purpose plus you can better modulate oversteer with throttle.

With an M6 and AX it is wise to get a stronger clutch.....

autos aren't bad for autox. i think an auto won nationals one year. i launch in "1" then shift to "2" and leave it there. you have a 99 so you don't have first gear lockout though so be careful of downshifts through corners. eventually i'll swap it to a 6 speed but for now it's fine.
