I agree with everything daturbosix said except the rear shocks aren't necessary if budget is a concern. Stock or even single adj cheap ones will suffice for some time in the tens especially if you're running a 28 10.5 slick. Also the fronts would be fine with a single adjustable as well and the rear sway bar is fine if u don't mind driving a little in the first 200 ft. I have 325 Springs in the front no sway bar and stock Springs in the rear with stock sway bar. Single adj all the way around. Car drives amazing on the street and it's OK for track use. Could be more settled but I don't mind it.

i already recieved the shocks, 100 bucks shipped from speed inc for the rear pair, is it really worth spending double for a drag bar, the 1" rear sway bar is like 180 and the 1.25" drag bar is over 400

The 1 inch is likely hollow. The drag bar may be solid. Not sure. But honestly u can get down the track fine without it for now. Do research and add later it's the easier thing to add as an after thought.
