Default stiffening up the rear

the suspension in the rear of my car is completely stock.... i am wanting to stiffen it up and begin to get better launches. i was thiking about getting a package deal which includes Lower control arms, an adjustable Panhard Rod, and an adjustable Torque arm from BMR for $450. do you guys think this is a good deal and how much of a difference would I notice when driving the car? thanks for the help!

All that would work, but you will still need a good set of shocks for the back, adjustable if you can afford them.

What are you trying to do with the car. Something with a nice ride, but feels good when pushed? Something that will dead hook? What are you looking to get out of the car? I agree though, shocks will be a good start no matter what your doing.

well, i guess kind of both, I want something that does have a nice ride to it, but it will mainly be used as a track car.... so dead hooking is probably first on the list of priorities
