Needed for what? An all out track monster? Or for a daily driver? Or for a weekend warrior?
Each setup would differ.
Let us know which one it is you seek, and I would be happy to let you know which set up is best.

On your mod list i dont see anything for struts,Tokico or Koni would be great with those springs.
Sub Frame connectors,front and rear tower braces would be great for all around performance.
If you want even better road handling ,upgrade your rear sway bar,get some polys for the sways,aluminum sub bushings,H-brace,GTP adjustable tubular rear arms and some good performance tires.
Brakes would be a good idea too.
Its like this ,when you start modding it doesnt stop till youv'e drained youre bank account.
Are you ready for that?

Since you already have the Intrax, go get yourself some Tokico's or Koni's. Intrax springs can't work their magic without proper dampening.
And your first thing you should do is the sub frame connectors. They help reduce chassis flex under heavy cornering.
Then pull everything together with a set of strut tower braces. The also help with the chassis flex our large cars have.
And go hit the junkyards for some Gen1 front and rear sway bars. I got mine for a total of $125 with urethane bushings for all of them.
Last thing you should do is get some upgraded sub frame bushings. I personall love the aluminum, but I also here good things about the Gen3 rear bushings.
With all of that, you car will be handling very nicely. It will stay flat as **** through the turns.
Don't forget a good set of tires. All these mods are worthless without a good set of rubber to put it to the ground.
And as far as brakes, stay with the 96 upgrade. Anything larger and you need 17's. And the 96's are cheaper to replace parts on.

Well, first thing I would recommend would be a Quaife. However, that's quite a bit of coin. But, the first thing you should DEFINITELY do is get rid of the stock wheels. This cannot be stressed enough! They don't have to be a larger diameter but need to be wider. At least a 7.5" wide wheel with a 235 width tire is what you need for optimal handling. You can get all the handling mods you can buy and without better wheels and tires, you will still be at a major disadvantage.
So, first thing, swap the wheels. Get better tires. You will then have made your SHO a better handler than if you bought at least 3 handling mods. And your car will look better(if you get the right wheels) and will be unique.
1. Quaife
2. Wider wheels and tires
3. Everything else.
