Default LCA & Panhard

How much of a difference would a BMR panhard and BMR LCAs make on a nearly stock vehicle?

Thanks, I've heard good things about BMR. I just would like to add some suspension mods if they will help. I am not expecting an all out drag car from the parts, just a little better performance than stock.

My first mod on my 2002 Z-28 was a BMR strut tower brace (best bang for the buck mod for these cars...other than maybe a "lid"). My next was SLP weld in subframe connectors (also a big help, but the brace had already removed alot of flex). Next stop was BMR panhard rod and then a set of control arms ("race" version with rod ends) and they make a great improvement in handling (the car no longer seems to be "bending" at the rear of the doors and feels like one piece). If I were on a budget, I'd buy a strut tower brace and a panhard rod (for starters), if more money allows, add control arms and connectors. Later, do the springs and shocks (if you are looking to go that far)....(I did...). I hope this helps....happy corner carving.
