Just one more word from me, 'cause I didn't make the case as strong as
I wanted to . If all you are going to do is one mod, do the subframe
connectors. They *will* help. They are more of a pain because they
have to be welded (and you want the welded ones, not the bolt-ons) but
it's worth the extra effort. SFC's significantly improve the stiffness
of the car.

Then later, when you have some money for bling, get the STB .
