Finished adding used suspension parts First of all I bought all of these parts off of craigslist for a great price.$400.00They were used but in very good condition. I missed the adjustable torque arm and adjustable lower control arms the same guy had for sale. I didn't particularly want the adjustable panhard rod but it came in the deal and who knows maybe I'll lower the car one day. Plus it's stronger than stock.
1st: I added the BMR sway bars front and rear.
2nd: I installed the Edlebrock adjustable panhard rod.
3rd: I installed the UMI three point sub frame connectors.
Then I took a shake down cruise through the twisties.
Astonishing the difference in cornering steering input feel. Also
I could swear the front doesn't nose dive as much as before
when applying the brakes hard. There is little or no body roll in the corners.
I can't say which parts had the greatest effect on the overall feel but all three combined are awesome.
I'll be on the lookout for some adjustable lower control arms and I think I'll stay with the stock torque arm with a urethane rubber front mount.

Update...I installed the Energy Suspension urethane torque arm bushing. What a PITA.
I suppose anyone else here who has installed one can appreciate just how much of a bitch it is closing the clam-shell to get the top bolt in.
I ordered Founders LCA's. The adjustable on car version. With Spherical ends on one end and urethane on the other. I'm waiting on the UPS guy.
