Built 997 Suspension Upgrade Thread: Looking for your opinions

I know there's other threads on this but not wanting to get in the way of those. Many of you have followed the build on my car, huge thanks to Sam and his team! Now that I'm starting to track the car, it's time to take this power and put it better to the ground. So it's suspension upgrade time!! My car is a built/forged 997, so plenty of power but needs help with this kind of power in the turns. Right now I'm tracking it 5 to 6 times a year but also drive it a couple times a week, weather permitting. I've worked my way quickly from novice to the advanced run groups and notice myself getting caught pretty fast in the turns by GT3s, RSs, etc. My current suspension is stock but I have Techart lowering springs, new DSC module and adjustable rear toe links already:

This is what Sam and I have worked out what we are going to do. I'm interested in those that have gone this route, please provide your thoughts/feedback.

Planned suspension mods:
KW V3 Coilovers
Billet Drop Links for front and rear
Sway Bar front and rear with bushings
Front monoball camber plates
I'm widening my front track for better stability and turn in like the GT3, this requires the following additional parts:
Front and Rear lower control arm kits
Front Axle Spacers kit
GT3 lower arm conversion kit
Control arm shim kit
Litronic brackets
