Default Have SFC's, whats next?

My car is mainly a street car with occasional trips to the strip. I will be looking to get a converter and 3.73 gears soon, so I figure I need to get something more done to the suspension to help transfer the load. Whats the next step after SFC's for a street car?

Am I gonna benifit most from a Tourque Arm, Panhard bar, LCA's, or something else I'm not thinking of? And adjustable, double adjustable, or just non-adjustable.

i'd say go with the LCA's and a torque arm. and unless your into tuning your suspension, just get non-adjustable everything except get an adjustable panhard rod because i THINK you need that if you plan on lowering your car along with LCA relocation brackets

If you wanna hook at the track get LCAs a T/A and LCA relocation brackets. If your car is primarily for the street though, I would upgrade the shocks to some Koni shocks. It will do everything better. there is no downside and it really transforms the car.

dont do just a rear swaybar on the street without a matching front. The car will tend to oversteer too agressively

oversteer doesnt occur in a straight line

I'm thinking I'll get LCA's and T/A for sure eventually. I'll try and do a few things at once if money allows

I did the BMR adjustable setup in chrome moly right after my sfc install back in 2003. (tq.arm,lca & brackets, phr, along with a stb)
It was the most cost effective way to go then and has proven itself over the years at the track and on the road. Wheel hop is controlled and cornering is crisper.
It serves as the base for the Strano springs and sway bars with Koni's that were added this year.
