Question Upgrade to SLP sport package?

I have a 99 SS with all the SLP options. My question is how good is the sports handling package( Progressive Rate Springs, Bilstein Shocks Rear Lower control arms) and how could I upgrade it? My car is slightly moded, KB SFC's, Lid, tr224, SW LT's, ASP pulley. The torque arm has welds layed all over it from factory, I'm guessing to try and add strength. Want to upgrade as I'm getting wheel hop. Do I need a new torque arm?

would BMR or Hotchkis be better than the SLP? Basically I have a level 1 SLP kit. Do I need to get the spohn cross-member ta and what about anti squat brackets?

For wheel hop maybe lower tire pressures, try slicks, consider hals. For handling the SLP Level 1 got rid of the floating feeling I had with stock suspension at high speeds- I don't know that that would be a huge help with wheelhop though.

How stout is SLP compared to Spohn or BMR ? I have an m6 and hard launches are the problem.
