Beeing thinking of a shock tower brace and sub frame connectors. Any recommendations?
I picked it up of off LS1tech from a wrecked car in toms river. It was from an 00 car so we had to switch the shaft from my old TB to the ported one so that my throttle cable would let the butterfly close(this wasn't fun when all of a sudden the snow decided to start coming down really heavy and we were working on my car outside). For suspension, the strut tower brace is one of the only things my car doesn't have. I always thought that that was more for a car that was concerned about cornering really well(say a roadcoarse car?),but after thinking about it, it may help with even weight distribution towards the back of the car when you launch at the track(again idk). For suspension, definitely do subframe connectors, they made my car feel like a brick sh*thouse, also LCA's and relocation brackets are good too. Try and buy the package deals so you get better prices. I got my panhard bar and LCA's for like $160 shipped to my door. I will throw my car on the dyno later this year to see what I can get when the car is full bolt-ons.
