Honestly, look into coil overs. The ride is better and the handling is better. I had urethane bushings in my LCAs. They wore out enough that the passenger side dissentigrated. The LCA would move in it's socket depending on the road conditions. Talk about scary. Either stick with the...
Personally, I would do the cams. I did the FR500 cams and intake when I had my heads ported, it really woke the car up. It was a lot of fun. Now I have cams in the 230 @ 50 range with a Sullivan. More fun on the rack, not as much fun daily. I'm too lazy to look up the specs for the FR500...

It's just a stamped piece of metal, you could probably find a machine shop that could make one. You'd have to sell the car pretty cheap with a broken part that isn't made anymore.
OP, just so you know, these guys are messing with you about the tail lights and front bumper. You can get a pretty penny for 99/01 tail lights or front bumper.
Besides that, the thing you never said was what do you want the car to be? I've modded mine so much it's not the best daily driver...
