back off the race springs. you'll hate that. they're not street worthy. stick with either the sports or super sports. Other than that, ditch the eiback rear sway and add in the MM adjustable weld-in rear sway. That'll be better for your use with the torque arm.

Only thing missing is the finish... convert to coil over at all 4 corners and slap on some tubular A-Arms in front (poly bushed).

It'll be badass when you're done. Still, if you're going that far not doing coil over... that's a bit like payin the hooker before you're done. Coil over mucho better-o than stock springs and easier to deal with.

just remember that you need to order torque arm rear springs. They're a different rate than standard 4 link springs. I'd probably go super sport on the front spring rate, something in the 570-650#" range. Rears... get MM's recommendation on that.
