Subframe connectors and shocks I'm looking to replace the factory shocks (75000 miles). Car sees no racing and is driven ~90 miles per day commuting. I'd like a substantial increase in handling at all speeds, but I do not need to get into adjustable shocks I don't think. I am not looking to change ride height as I already have poor clearance from my texas-speed catted Y-pipe.
Also, I have been encouraged to get sub-frame connectors. Can anyone recommend an item they have been successful with? Welding is not an issue and there are just too many to choose from.
Thanks for any advice.

As for handling, if you're talking about curves and what not, might try a STB. I noticed a nice difference in body roll of the front end when I put mine on.

SFCs aren't needed but any will work.
BMR's tubular design is what I have on my car and I love them. On the shock side I went with KYBs but they are adjustable. If you are looking for non adjustable I would go with the Bilstein shocks Or the Bilstein HD
