so far i have replaced all of my sway bar links, idler arm, centerlink, and rear shocks. front shock are the next thing to be replaced. what would be the next cost effective upgrade? i want to focus my cars performance more towards handling than straight off the line. i would like to get some more performance out of the engine, im going to do a 3 inch exhuast, a performance chip, and maybe a cam in the future. i have a 1989 camaro RS 305 TBI. im looking to maintain some fuel millage, car gets excellent gas millage and is my daily driver for 6 months out of the year. im thinking a strut tower brace, and poly graphite control arm bushings would be a good start. how difficult is it to install a strut tower brace, and how much bang for the buck do you get?

 

SFC's are not a mod, they're a must. As a consequence, you should consider them a priority.

Straight line doesn't interest me much either. Here are some things I've done that might provide an idea or two:

Energy Suspension motor, tranny, secondary crossmember, torque arm, bump stops, and tie-rod boots, Prothane A-arm bushings, Global West steering box brace and subframe connectors, Hotchkis tie-rod sleeves,1LE sway bars with GM poly end links and Top-Down Solutions greaseable 36mm front and Energy Suspension greaseable 24mm rear bushings, Edelbrock torque arm, Spohn lower control arms and panhard.

Spohn 1LE front brakes (dual piston alum), 1LE rears (single piston alum), Earl's braided-steel brake lines.

Hooker headers, Catco hi-flow cat, Hooker cat-back.
