Default feedback on this setup please?

right now i have UMI LCAs, Panhard bar, SFCs and ive got around another $700 to spend and im going to do some more suspension mods.. i was thinking of grabbing a UMI Torque Arm http://www.umiperformance.com/2205?category_id=130 to clear the TSP TDs.. then i was thinking about getting these Spohn sway bars http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1376. thats right about the max i was thinking of spending.. i Daily drive my car and do some street racing but do like to take some turns. any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
