RE: My previous post, I checked out the above url and have some comments.
Bilstein Shocks and Struts are very high quality and excellent units. BUT I don't believe in paying 100-200+% more for a small improvement when compaired to good HD parts from Gabrial or other parts mfg.

Caster Plus Kit may be a good idea if you are concerned about front tire wear, I like mine with about 2 Deg. in at the top on each side, as I corner harder than normal I find the handling is imporved, so don't have it corrected. I also get even tire wear, instead of wearing the outside of the front tires due to hard cornering.

Polyurethane Bushings are a great low cost addition and deff. will improve the handling. See if you can get "Polygraphite" bushings as they don't "squeek" due to graphite imbeded in the Polyurethane.

The Sport Springs are OK, but I have found that I get better handling on rough roads if I leave the spring rates stock, and beef up the Sway Bar, Bushings and Shocks/Struts.

TracKit Axle Brackets Sounds like a good idea, especially if you are having problems with wheel hop or buzzing up the rear tires on corner exit.

The chassis support "stuff" looks good.
