I highly recommend a stb -strut tower brace- before my subframe connectors the stb, was the best upgrade I have to the car in handling. Subframe connectore and stb make a great addition to the f-body.

I was told by a muffler shop who said one of the best hanlding mods you can do is replace all four shocks.

If you plan on seriously drag racing the car, the STB isn't really needed. In fact there are those that say "no way" to the STB if you drag race the car at all. If you're a corner carver, then the STB is a nice addition. I drag race my 'bird alot, but I also have a BMR STB cause I like to "hot lap" a corner or two every now and then....

SFCs are certainly worth it. Along with the PHR, you might also consider some LCAs. Anything to help eliminate the dreaded wheel hop. I have all three of these items awaiting install on my car.

As stated above, everything you do will help.

even as far as road racing is concerned, the strut tower brace is more of a placebo and financial reduction mod. I occassionally open track my vehicle, and when I installed the strut tower brace, it made no difference whatsoever.

4th Generation Camaros have a front SLA suspension, not a MacPherson strut system, so why install a strut tower brace?
