I've been following the above links, and they are proving helpful.
(So many interesting articles) But my bird is my daily driver. I do drive it hard when I'm commuting after a grave yard shift, and in the mountains. But I do not plan on serious auto-cross or open track. My budget is low (student) I just want to improve the car (thats what hot rodding is all about right?).

This is why I am leaning toward the TVS from Hotchkis. Does this evoke any more thoughts?
