    when you are throwing it in at 150km/h, you'll want 8 + 6.

    Dont stinge on the supporting mods!, especially for the 150km/h stuff.

    Rebush everything with polyurethane/ rosejoints if you dare
    Get bigger swaybar/s - definitely rear, front if your keen.
    Fresh balljoints and bearings everywhere!
    Decent shocks - not sure about BC, but if they offer better shocks in different model for more coin or something - DO IT.
    RCA's. Don't want a decent ripple on the track flinging you into a wall.

    Corrects the angle of the LCA so its less prone to rape you / rip the steering wheel out of your hand. Thats all i need to know haha.

    To elaborate a little bit, when you lower your car, the car lowers in relation to the bottom of the strut, so the arm that connects the two (LCA) goes bonkers and diagonal. chuck a lump of metal/spacer/rca between the bottom of the strut and the LCA and presto! your back in the game.
