many benefits no deficits to upgrading the larger hardware other than the wallet

Use the solid aftermarket ones.

same with boxing the LCAs, aftermarket UCA's, firm feel sway bars/steering, strut rods, etc......................

I spent 22+ yrs running hot laps in high performance driving schools on Thunder Road, this is not autocross, one step less than racing, I had a car that could run with the big dogs if i wanted too. Watkins Glen 2x per yr 2days per event
Do the math

At each and every 2 day event there were always upgrades that significantly lowered my lap times to the pt i was running under the "number" which is 2.5 minutes for a full lap.
I have had a lot of tech support esp at the track.

If anyone want to ask me what works and wants to tune the suspension let alone a six pak please pm me ....I have data not the seat of my pants
