that's a great start, all great products and the car will handle well, and with the adjustable shocks you can go SUPER smooth for daily driving and stiff for autocross
Chris,

Take the rest of your funds and upgrade the steering box. Lee's, AGR or something like that. You will probably have a few small parts that need to be replaced (old cars always do) also. That along with the Ridetech parts should make for a very nice handling car and a lot of fun without breaking the bank.

I really like that you're not going to crazy with your suspension and realize that there isn't a need to spend more than you have to. Guys get in way to deep sometimes. It's all about balance.

Keep us posted on what you do.
