Default What to do next?

I have an '02 Firehawk with the optional Bilstien Y2Y suspension. I've also added a BMR strut tower brace, BMR tubular subframe connectors, and a G2 driveshaft loop.

The car is not going to be used for hard core road or drag racing, but I'd like it biased toward road race handling so as to hold the curves, not necessarily provide an optimal launch.

So I'm this far, what are my next couple steps? TIA.

So you should have the 35 mm and 21 mm sway bars.

I would add:

Polyurethane sway bar bushings
Polyurethane end links for the sway bars
Lower Control Arms with rubber body mounst and polyuethane axle bushings.
Lower Control Arm relocation brackets (to improve traction)
Polyurethane trans mount
Torque Arm

I have all of the above and my SS runs like it is on rails, plus the SLP Springs and Bilstein Shocks.

I think I covered it all . . . .
