I had a tune on mine with a catless downpipe, the fail TTR upper mount, a K&N drop in with 602 miles on it.

If facepalming made a noise, it would reach from NJ to CA.

I am not trying to compete with anyone.
Just trying to point out you could go about this whole debacle better.
Seems like you are just buying **** to buy it, hey it's your money not mine, so I could care less about that.
But it seems you have a decent amount to spend on whatever the hell you want to, and if that is the case, do it once, do it right.
You will still hop with a TTR upper. Trust me. Ask me how I know?
Get the OTTP rotated mounts and don't look back. Next to no vibes and no hop. I may know someone who has a used set if you're interested.
The TTR rear bar isn't bad for the money, but I would suggest a OTTP bar, just because of weight reasons. The hardcore bar is stiffer, at the same weight and the regular bar is just as stiff and lighter.
Springs is up to you. I have had sportlines, and Pedders on this car. Honestly Pedders springs are the best out there for everything. They are a WHOPPING WHOLE 1/4 inch(extreme sarcasm here) higher in the rear. Most people won't even notice. Now if you are looking for a slammed look and don't care about cornering that is on you. To each his own.
If you don't care about having 'the best' out there I understand, but I hate to see someone thinking they are solving a problem and really all they are doing is nothing. Just making the car vibe more, or turn well one way, and not the greatest the other(PM me for more details if you are interested).
If you want slotted fronts, a saab enthusiast site makes slotted OEM rotors if you want that look, but other than that, the stock fronts are beastly and good pieces.
Just because it is aftermarket does NOT mean it is better.

I think he is just trying to share some info that he has learned by trial and error to possibly save you from wasting money/learning the hard way.
