KW front and rear adjustable shock with 19mm raised spindle
Rebel Racing front and rear teflon bushing
Elepant Racing adjustable spring plate

Car will be mostly for spirited street use.

Would like some recommendation for front and rear torsion bar

Also the front and rear sway bar
why 6s?,
7s even w/ the same 185 tires are a much grippier way to go

what's the ride height going to be?
stock w/ those tires would be b = ~200mm, normally if the spindles are raised 19mm the ride height should go to b = ~180mm, but you could go another 10-20mm lower w/o too much ill effect, though the steering is getting ratty w/o some compensation, at least an 11.5mm rack spacer should be used.

I'd leave the sways stock and just do t-bars

the t-bar effect is going to be a function of the corner weights, what works nicely for a 2600# car will be harsh and stiff on a 2000# car.

In general you really want to run the lightest springs that minimize suspension geometry changes due to chassis roll, secondarily reduced roll is more comfortable for the driver.

besides weight , speed is another factor affecting chassis roll, As you drive the car now is roll at an uncomfortable level?
