well subframes might be your first best bet...
then probably drop springs...

Subframe connectors were the best thing I ever put in my car. The ride and handling is unbeleivable.

Total Control subframe conectors are great, but go with Global West control arms, the Total Control arms have too many adjustments. I would sugjest a 1" sway bar and a 3/4" rear sway bar, plus Shelby springs, relocated upper control arms, and reverse eye rear springs.

What do you guys think of the coil over setup that TCP has? do you think somthing like that would really make a differance? if so.. why couldnt you just get the global west arms and pick up some coilovers and facricate the bracets for the coilovers cuz even TCP says you can use your existing lowers.. they just recommed using thiers...
