Default need opinions on my suspension

i was goin to go further with my suspension setup, but because of the crisis goin on here a.t.m ,i am thinking about to take a little brake modding the car, and start to drive it, next summer

my plans where to go "full susp", but i think i got enough done to improve the handling and grip a little bit,
the car was complete stock before,(z28 m6) and i've only driven it stock, every part i've installed are brand new and never used,

what i have done this far:
vogtland springs, 1.2" drop
bilstein shocks,
Spohn swaybars w/perfm bushings
UMI relocations brackets
UMI tubular rear control arms,
UMI chromoly strut bar
UMI subframe connections (LCA?)
and i bougth a perfm rubber buffer, that sits under the gearbox, (forgot what you call it)

and because i cant drive the car agen until next summer, i am a little curius how it will feel to drive it, i am kinda afraid it will be to hard,

its a 98 z28 m6, H/C/I+150shot, 18" wheels
i was goin to go strano/koni's, but the stranos where not available a.t.m, and the koni's to expensive,
the reasone why i have not purchased some aftermarket torgue arm & panhard bar is that i was goin to buy a strano/mooser 12bolt/9",
so i will drive it until i brake the rear,

how do you think it will feel? and should my traction be any better?

It looks like it will be a better handling set up. Hard to say whether it will be too stiff, but I doubt it, drive it and tell us.

I think the buffer you mention would be the transmission mount.
