Default Suspension/Chassis

Would LCA, subframes, and Torque Arm really help much? Which would you get, and in what order? Thanks in advance.

If you can only afford one item at a time then i would SFC's first so you have less of a chance twisting the car. If you can get the LCA's,SFC's,TA at the same time i would. They are all vital points to help hook up and strengthning.

I just received my STB,SFC's, and LCA's, I don't have the SFC's on yet but with the STB and LCA's I've noticed a big difference riding around town. I haven't taken it to the track to see the difference yet(waiting to get the SFC's welded on).

I recently installed the BMR weld in SFC's and the tubular LCA's, and these are simply sone of the best improvements you can do. Total cost including installation for my car= $423.00

I noticed that my car hooks up very well even on street tires, and the car just seems much stiffer. Depending on your car and milage, you will also avoid a large amount of creaks and rattles from developing.
