Default Critique my setup

I am going to be purchasing some suspension parts soon and just wanted to here your guys' thoughts. The car is a 99 Z28 Camaro.

Parts:
-BMR lowering springs
-Koni SA shocks
-BMR relocation brackets
-UMI adjustable panhard rod and adjustable rear LCAs package

Do you see any problems with this setup? I will be autocrossing the car about once a month during the spring and summer. Also I will go to the drag strip once or twice this year.

Thanks

First two important things are:
1 Shocks (koni single adjustables are awesome)
2 Swaybars (35mm front, 21mm rear)

Start with those and see what you think your car needs to improve on. I actually use stock springs with koni single adjustable shocks.

I am going to get a feel for the car first with the new parts and later in the summer I will probably get sway bars.
