Yes I agree, and I do
While I haven't fully decided what I am doing in the rear it will get a similar treatment to compliment the front, either an Alston Gbar or maybe some form of 3 link. Don't worry, I will start a new thread on that once I get the front sorted
The BB will likely be replaced with an LS motor, likely a 6.0 or 6.2 - mostly stock at first and will build it after it's in the car with a target of around 600hp at the crank.

My subframe plan right now includes the following parts most of which I have:
AFX tall spindles - Had these for a long time now
SC&C adjustable upper arms (not the lite ones sadly)
Hotchkis sway bar - Probably my least researched item
Detroit speed lower arms
Varishock single adjustable shocks
Detroit speed 2" drop coil springs - Any brand would probably work fine
DSE or Speedtech steering box - Have not gotten this yet.
C5 brakes - Cheap and effective.
In an effort to lighten it and to make it stronger, it has some other modifications, mostly replacing the front crossmember and re-welding.

Looks pretty similar to where I am headed,
AFX
SC&C UCA
not sure about sway but I would like adjustable, hollow to save some lbs
LCA, not sure as I need a coilover lower
full coilover, I will make my own top mount
steering box?
brakes, If C5's will get the job done - Great as they are about half the price of the Z06.
add some front struts
Looks like I'm getting it nailed down, Thanks for your help gents
