S197 308 boss pushrod turbo swap
First off its a beast. It will crack 9 second timeslips off will a lil suspension love. Currently car is in complete stock form. It has a 2012 8.8 axle with control arm's. I have to put a girdle on it so I'm looking at a panhard bar relocation kit and I'd like to use the stock one as the suspension height in rear will remain stock for now. The front has v6 springs on it which I think will actually work to my benefit for transferring the wieght to the back.
Here's my 11.0 slip in stock form 14psi off a 2k low rpms launch no boost.

I've got one more track day left and I'm borrowing a set of 28x11.5x15 et street dot slicks. I use to run 1.42s on my old foxbody but that was anti roll bar and spherical stuff. What 60ft will i be able to obtain stock suspension with slicks? trans is a c4 with a 3600 stall. Is they're anything I should be aware of or upgrade to be safe ?

You say the 8.8 with control arms, is that after market, or stock. I would recommend the rear setup as follows, good adjustable lower control arms, adjustable upper control arm and the mounting bracket, LCA relocation brackets, even though you are at stock ride height they will give you the ability to dial in the suspension for different track conditions. Weld your axle tubes and get some rear drag springs and shocks. BMR can help with all this, except the welding of the tubes and it's hard to beat their quality.

My friend has a pair of gt500 lowers he bought new but went to bmr ones. He said I could have em. Are they stiffer than stock. Thought about using the gt500 lowers and buying an upper adjustable one and the lower relocation brackets. Any thoughts?
