very vague question.

are you willing to completely give up handling? are you still driving it on the streets or are you willing to have the loose suspension you need for the track? how much are you looking to spend? what do you have for power?

there is no such thing as traction bars fro a none leaf spring car, you could use a shorter racing torque arm that will move the instant center back

looks like your best bet is just disconnecting your front swaybar before you go down the track and just buy some street slicks for the track. anything you do to keep the car tight in the corners is going to hurt you going down the track
