You must really like a jellyroll ride. LOL To most, better LCAs provide a much better ride than stock because the rear end doesn't feel so sloppy. I believe OP said this is just going to be a street car. So, tightening up the rear end is really all he needs to do for now.

OP, all of us who have been infected with the GT500 mod bug will tell you these same 3 things in the following order:

1) Get your suspension sorted to where you want it.
2) Address cooling to preserve the power you already have.
3) Adding more power should be the last thing on your to-do list.

There are a LOT of things you can fit between #1 and #3 that all come down to personal preference, but we all agree on those 3 things in that order.
Wrong, It wasn't jelly before or after the lowers, you're not in my shoes or car so don't assume.

Other than stickier tires, just drive it and find where you want it to improve.
Reliable, safe power gains are easy.
Have you modded a car before?
Congrats and welcome to the snake pit.
