Suspension upgrades How do the hotchkis springs and KYB shocks do together? I want the car to ride better, handle better, and perform well at the track, so here's my list.
KYB adjustable shocks
hotchkis springs
UMI LCA/PHB pkg (both 2x adjustable)
UMI SFC 3pt bolt on
KYB adjustable shocks
hotchkis springs
UMI LCA/PHB pkg (both 2x adjustable)
UMI SFC 3pt bolt on

So here's my list as it sits right now, please give me some imput. The car gets driven a lot, and will see some time at the drag strip soon. I have ls1 front brakes to be put on as well.
Sway bar kit from BMR (stock ones are worn out)
Tower brace from BMR
SFC's from BMR
single adjustable LCAs from Strano Performance
I'm stuck on springs and shocks though, I would like to lower it slightly but still have a good ride, handle good, and do well at the track. I have stock wheels now but will eventually have 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rears.

Tower brace is a waste of money
Get UMI's 3pt sfc's
get UMI's single adjustable LCA's like you said.
As far as shocks and springs go, I'd get strano springs and koni's
You'll need a adjustable panhard bar, preferably poly/rod combo if your a daily driver.

$1,450 is plenty for suspension:

IMO shocks are the most important part, they control how the car will behave in all areas (ride and performance).
