Plan for my extreme street machine...

Spohn Subframe connectors (bolt on then weld)

drag sway bar in the rear and a stock or no sway in the front...

I am really curious if this is even streetable, I have a really bad problem with getting traction and have to really feather till I get up to 45mph (well not anymore since I am building a new engine )

How important is getting a new torquearm coil overs ect...does it make a big enough difference to warrent the cost?

The Spohn SFC's will only weld-on. Look at the design and installation pictures on his site. Pay attention to how the front-end of the pipes attach. The Alston SFC's that TDS sells can be bolted on and then welded though.

Just disconnect one side of your swaybar for drag applications, i.e. loosen one endlink.

An aftermarket torque arm will enable you to put more power to the pavement.

I'm not sure that you really want a coil-over setup for straightline acceleration. I think you money is better spent on on LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, and sticky tires.
