With the 325's, and depending on your alignment settings, and front tire size. The front Hotchkis bar and the stock rear bar.

285 on the front and suspension is currently stock (including alignment settings) with no plans to alter it other than sway bar.

Also, saw your post about spending more time at the range. I recently picked up a Kahr PM9 for carry. They make some sweet shooters!

If you get adjustable upper control arms. You can change your camber in front for better handling and to take full advantage of the sway bar.

I'm in a shooting league now.

Shoot every Thursday. And usually at the range on Monday or Tuesday.

Burn up about 500 rounds a week.

Mr. Rusty, I've gotten half the SPL catalog so far, minus outer tie rods or bushings but I'm looking to tighten my suspension a little more. What you recommend ?

You can skip the tie-rod ends unless you're lowered, and want to correct for bump steer.
The lower front control arm bearings help tighten the front up.
You have the bearings for the rear knuckles?
Hotchkis front swaybar.
Good Coil-overs with the right springs.

Man...that's a hard question. Depends if you just DD, or track, or do both and how much of each. You willingness to withstand a stiff set-up on the street if set-up for the track. And just the opposite for the track. If you run aero on the track. It's going to be stiffer. In the rear. You got the stock location, The SPL arms, and true coil-overs to think about. Best bet would be to start a thread and ask the question. You will get a bunch of different opinions.

No problem bro! I know its hard to tell! My car was my dd before but not any more thanks to GOD because the streets here are getting worst every day

Now the Z are going to be 70% track and 30% back road driving
