I would go with SFC's no matter what. They really help straighten and tighten up the car, an airbag in the pass side rear should also help. Is your car lowered?

Have you thought about a heavy duty rear sway bar like the BMR extreme? I heard that works wonders for a twisted up launch.

my car is lowered (being done right now) so I think I'll start with the airbag (cheapest solution) first and see how that works. I just ordered it from Thunder Racing. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help!

A) is a necessity, but more costly to install, but U need'em.
B) would help and is a cheap fix, just work with air pressures
C) I wouldn't do
D) Might be cost effective on first or second date, after that the cost continue to rise with no end in sight. 'cept hers climbing out of the car. And she might question the double bag.
