Advice on suspention upgrades

I have put a Hotchkis panhard bar in, and a Hotchkis strurt-tower brace in. I also welded in some sub-frame connectors. What other stuff is out there to upgrade the suspention? I know of torque arms, and control arms, but are they worth it?
<p>
Oh, one last thing, ONCE I saw a third-gen with tubular front A arms. Were they custom? I'd sure like to get my hands on a set of those

an aftermarket torque arm and cotnrols arms will give you better traction!!

LCA's are def. worth it, when you get those also get relocation brackets.

the torque arm is nice, and does help the car bite, but it is def. the most expensive part of the rear susp.

the tubular A arms, i know you can get if you get a whole front k-member. you might try PA Racing, or Roadtech , they may sell the a-arms seperatly from the k-member.
