get the SFCs first, your car already has a factory torque arm on it right? but does it have factory SFCs............ they're cheaper and they help 60ft, handling, and make the car feel new, TA just helps 60ft

I agree, SFCs should be next. Should have been the very 1st upgrade you do to any 3rd gen.

The consensus is 110% SFCs.
TAs are nice, but parts like the TAs, LCAs....whatever....Transfer power to the chassis. Without a solid chassis, reinforced by SFCs, your not seeing all of the parts benefits.

Re: UMI Torque Arm or UMI Subframe Connectors??
Well it seems clear now what my choice should be...
SFC's It is then!
Hopefully they will get rid of alot of them annoying squeaks and rattles...
Oh yeah, and help put some more power to the ground
The fact that they're cheaper always helps too lol
