That's what I'm working on having done.

Here's what is planned to go in next spring/summer:

-adjustable panhard bar
-adjustable torque arm
-adjustable lower control arms
-relocation brackets
-subframe connectors

I would like to put adjustable race shocks on as well (in the rear to start), but can't justify spending the extra cash right now with my $950 in parts for the cam swap this coming May and possibly a new rearend the following spring (~$2500).

If your car is lowered at all the entire suspension geometry is changed. Relocation brackets help out in this situation. I've also heard they benefit stock ride height cars as well.

As far as subframe connectors be sure to get weld-in and have someone who does quality work install them. I've heard horror stories about the installs. I'm most likely going to install them on my hardtop car for the added rigidity. Once you start making power it is easy to end up with dings in the rear quarters. Subframe connectors prevent this (from what my research has told me).

Unfortunately thats not true, there are still members on here that get 1/4 panel ding with SFC's. Its a bad crumble zone design in the back, the only real fix is to get a cage (which stiffens the chassis much more than any SFC can).

Yes, with higher HP cars it is beneficial to run a cage. I'll be running one soon. Even though the car will run high-11's cam-only. Might as well get the car ready for future mods Rearend comes first though

P.S. You need a cage at 11.50 to the best of my knowledge. It would be overkill for a bolt-on car in my opinion. Unless you are running low-12's. Then you will need it soon So you might as well start saving for one
