93-02 camaro/firebird hawks sinister adjustable complete suspension kit
Has any one installed/used this set up before or even know who really makes it? Could you'll give me the pros &cons for it too?

Looks like pretty standard stuff, but missing the most important pieces: shocks, springs and swaybars.
You are looking just for drag racing right? This is definitely not a handling setup.

just looking to tighten things up in prep for all the other thing to help with that. But after doing some more research on it found that it has the short torque arm and from what I'm heard on here will be staying away for it. Also I really want to to 3-point subframe connectors and that set up would not allow me to do that.

Biggest improvement you will see in making the car feel more solid is definitely good shocks. After I had installed koni sports (and then more suspension mods) I installed 3pt bolt in SFCs and then had them welded, they made no noticeable difference at all. Thats because all the loose-ness, floatyness, "flexing" was actually just poor shock dampening and the Koni sports took my car to a BMW-solid like feel.

Well I would like to make it handle better but also want to try and save some money doing packages. I know of the shocks and even the springs helping but the good shocks are pretty expensive too.

You were looking to spend that much anyway, you might as well buy the right parts with that money.

If you really look at "kits", you will see there is almost ZERO savings in the kits. Some actually cost more than individual items. Buy the parts you need. More savings can be had by smart shopping among the multitude of vendors.

Shocks made the biggest improvement in handling on my car. By far. DeCarbons to Koni SA's.
I did sway bars first. Then rear lower control arms and Panhard rod. Then Strut Brace. Then short Torque Arm. Then shocks. Shocks did 80% of the improvement.
After than Road Race K member, upper and lower control arms. Nothing made a difference like what the shocks

The only problem with "Kits" or packages is sometimes you have to compromise on one component for another, or get something you don't need or won't perform as well as something else for your application. 9 times out of 10 when someone calls me about one of our packages or kits, I actually end up talking them out of it and instead will cherry pick individual items based on their needs and application and create a custom package deal for them. Usually you can get better parts for the money or possibly less by doing it this way.
I am not trying to divert you from those parts or from that supplier, but it would probably be worth a call to them or whoever is making the products to find out if those parts will be best suited for your needs and particular setup
