suspension advice

Hey wsup guys I'm slowly starting to get into modifying the suspension of the car(finally) so I was wondering about a couple of the things I was gonna do. I was gonna order the whiteline rca, rear bump steer, and perrin psrs since a friend of mine who tracks quite frequently recommended for me to get it. I recently called a local suspension shop asking their opinion on it and they said I should not install the perrin psrs on a daily driven car because of weather here in southern california causing wear issues?(didn't make sense to me which is why I'm posting this thread). So can anyone give me some advice or enlighten me on this matter? I'm a suspension noob btw and I have only been to two track days but I want to start tracking more often(4-6 times a year) and my current suspension/brake mods are:
-buddyclub race spec dampers
-progress 25mm sway bar
-rear trailing arm bushing
-centric blank OEM replacement rotors
-goodridge SS lines
-racing brake et800(front) and et700(rear)pads
-ATE super blue brake fluid

read this as well and it seemed like a good suspension mod:

other advice towards other suspension mods(endlinks or other bushing that I may not be aware of) would be greatly appreciated as well as I wanna do as many things as possible to see how much of difference it will be when done at once

TIA

Have you called mueller or robi up? I would just run either of their staged upgrades.

We run the PSRS on our car and it seems to be holding up extremely well. I have driven in just about every condition (including a little snow) and it has no issues. Kind of a pain in the butt to install the added caster version in our car, we had to notch the frame slightly.

As far as the Whiteline products, we run the Roll Center kit. I'd recommend a heat shield to protect the dust boot as we melted ours. And speaking of melting things, as you track more, you need to get brake ducting. It has been critically important on our car.

Since you already have a bunch of suspension upgrades and you're fairly new to the track, run what you have and go from there. The bushings you mentioned will certainly help and I would get them (along with a good alignment and good brakes). Get some seat time and all that and you'll figure out what you need.
