Question Suspension Upgrades?

I am thinking of doing some suspension upgrades to get a better edge in autocross. I have been looking through my performance products Mag and was wondering what suspension parts you guys thought to be the most effective. I have already decided on Adjustable Konis all the way around, and I was thinking about 250lb Springs, and a strut tower brace as well.
I also saw some Turbo S swaybars on Ebay. Is there any way of telling if I have a M030 suspension Package, or was that just for Turbo S's? Also does anyone have an opinion on torsion bars?

Thanks in Advance, Guys.

If you're going to spend that kind of money (adjustable Koni's from Performance) then buy some real double adjustable shocks with ride height adjustment. Ground Control's Advance Design race shocks for 400/corner. Racer's Edge Leda shocks for $390 and up/corner.

Measure the diameter of your swaybars. That will tell you what's up.

I don't have a specific recommendation but you may find the following article interesting.

Note that the article is a few years old so the prices are out of date.

For about 2800 you can get a set of the new Moton Club Sports. They are double adjustable with remote pressurized reservoirs. I have a set on my car.
