Opinions Street Only Car- Heres what Im gonna get Ok heres the deal...another one of these "what do you think" threads. And before anyone asks, I have done some research and the search button is my friend. 
I have a 02 Trans Am and the suspension is stock (cars got just under 11k miles) and I recently purchased some TTII's with the rears 17x11. Car has custom system with two 12" subs in the trunk which weigh about 100-150 lbs's total (not sure- too much either way) and almost always has a full tank of gas. My car is strictly a street/show car. With the stock setup now, the rear has a lot of movement on the shocks and is sqeakin over bumps (bushings?) due to the system in the trunk. (SFC's could improve that along with new shocks-I know). Eventually I plan on getting a procharger and doing some internal work to reach the 500 hp mark. Of course this means getting a 12 bolt and all the other stuff that follows, but you get the point. What do you think?
UMI Double Adj. Panhard (already have)
UMI Adj. LCA's possibly with relocation brackets
*edit* UMI Adj. Torque Arm
UMI 3point tubular weld-on SFC's
Strano Springs
Koni's
Strano Sway bars
Like stated above car is street/show only at this time- no drag
and has a lotta weight in the trunk and will eventually be a 500hp car(hopefully)..... What do you think I should improve and/or take out?? Obviously this will be quite the upgrade and a costly one at that(you get what you pay for and Im ready to pay!!), but I want to do it right the first time.....Thanks in advance to everyone!

Everything looks great, except get an adj. torque arm. You will need the adjustability after the car is lowered on those springs.
Other than that, that's the exact same setup i'm planning.
