Thanks to Paul and Jason for the work on the car!
Kenny Brown Track Kit (LCAs, Panhard, Springs), KB UCA's, Tokico Illumina's.
The difference is night and day, the rear end is no longer squirly coming out of turns, nor does it get upset by rough pavent! The greatest feeling is when you feel like you maybe at a limit in a turn and you just give it more gas the car just pulls harder and tighter through the turn! :metal:

yeah the K/Brown sales rep has been pushing me to put the track kit on my 93. I haven't done it because I figured it would hurt me on the 1/4 mile runs. It is a nice setup though

According to Paul this would actually help your 1/4 times has it helps to keep the rearend planted.

I do not to know the spring rate, the kit uses the stock rear springs, because during installation the lca axle mounts are lowered 5/8 of an inch, so there is no need for a lowering spring. It does come with a set of front springs, but they have not settled yet. When Jason measured it yesterday the car was at the same height it was before.

No new meats yet, but once my gatorbacks are done I'll be looking into some Kumo's or something similar.

Nitto 555's are pretty affordable($105 a piece) and I'm sure people here will vouch for their effectiveness. I know I will.

Overall the entire installation was just over $1800, that included the kit, shocks, uca's etc.

I think the track kit alone is around $1200.

Actually parts were in that range....that included Adj. Upper arms, Adj. lower arms, front springs, Track Kit, Caster Plus plates....Just the track kit was $460 ;).

The kit ofcourse improves handling but also improves straight line acceleration and braking.
