Chris, I think presently your biggest issue is suspension....stiffer springs and torsion bars, big front sway bar, Bilstein sports or Koni adjustables etc....do you have anything over stock pieces now?

Everything is nearly stock right now. No rear bar, small front bar.

Got some KYBs in the front, something else in the rear. Will eventually end up getting some good billsteins. Oversteers like crazy right now, gonna try and tune the oversteer out with a limited slip, then see if it still needs a larger front bar.

I've heard a limited slip will tend to make the car pushy, so I'd like to wait till it's installed before I run around buying suspension parts to balance the car, only to find them incorrect later.
