Default Questions about which items to buy....

Hello, i am looking to order some suspension parts for my 99 TA. It is 99% daily driver and may see the track once a year if that. I am looking a little into handling, but mainly traction for the street as im going to have some power here.... These were the items i was looking into buying. Tell me if there going to be useless to me soi dont waste any money.

1.) Koni SA's with Ground Control Coilovers
2.) LCAs (What company? Do i need adjustable and what ends?)
3.) Torque Arm (What company? Do i need adjustable and what ends?)
4.) Pan Hard Rod (What company? Do i need adjustable and what ends?)
5.) Relocation Brackets (Company? Do i NEED weld in? Id rather bolt in)

I have eibach sportline springs right now but looking to get adjsutable shocks so i can get better traction and mess with my height. I also already have SFC's and a STB. Thanks a lot in advance! My SFC's and STB are both Hotchkis BTW

I personally like UMI they seem to really know their stuff and have good prices.

1. - already expressed my opinoin

2. - dont think you need adjustable but nice to have.

3. - this is the whole drag and street racing again. You can adjust it to have better traction at the strip but you need to know what your doing with degrees and angles of the bar (not extremly difficult).

4. - BIG ONE HERE yes you need adjustable with a lowered car so you can recenter the tires between the car. I'd recommend getting the rod ends here, ive heard the poly bushings make noise.

5. - Yes, you need LCA brackets with a lowered car if you want to fix the geometry of the LCA's to give you better traction. Many people will say weld in is better. Yes its nice to have the bolt in though if you want to take them off if say your demodding the car or whatever. However as ive already recommended UMI they dont sell bolt in for our cars so i think its safe to say any brackets will do the trick.

I am not an expert in every suspension part so anyone please correct me if im off on anything.
