I am very confident that with these parts the car will be way better then it is now. Just trying to perfect this car to my liking and be the best in every department/aspect. I would go with coilovers but I think they are a little complicated for the street, shocks and springs should be plenty efficient for street driving and occasional track use!

A torsen is the smoothest, most linear diff you can get. A clutch type S4 TII diff might make it worse.

Hmmm... I thought that was the reason a lot of the big power and drag race guys used the S4 diff. Guess I was wrong.

thats becuase TII diffs are stronger. stock torsens cant handle much more than 400hp, and/or repeated abuse with slicks. they are great for those who like turning and dont hit the drags.
