First thing next year will be a bunch of whiteline parts, and custom coilovers from Wes Burton Shocks, Mann Engineering or RCE. Support is the most important factor there, so haven't decided yet... (unless I luck into an insane deal on some used ASTs or MCSs). I'm only allowed certain bushings and suspension replacement parts without taking unnecessary points in the NASA PT model, so I'll have to perform a cost/benefit analysis of each replacement part.

It's all about the $$$... and I've run out.
