Subframe and tower brace???
I guys. I'm planning to buy subframe connectors and a strut tower brace. Does it realy improve handling and chassi strenght. I've look hotchkis products Tower brace and subframe). Are they good? I know a lot of people use hotchkis for tower brace but for the subframe I don't know if hotchkis are good? Have you other products to suggest, especialy for the subframe?
Thanks!

I have a BMM (? can't remember)STB. Its the 3 point kind, I really didn't notice any huge impovement, but i am sure it helps. I also have the competition engineering SFC. It made a big difference. The car doesn't twist nearly as much now, and it doesn't squeek as much (i have t's). The car rides on rails (WS6) and now it feels a whole lot stiffer and connected. DEFINETLY get the SFC's!
Its all what you want to spend. Look into Steve Spohn's parts. Thet work really well and are cheap (he didn't have SFC's when i was looking to put them in) Hotchkins stuff is a little pricey in my opintion

For front end steering, get the Global West lower chassis steering brace as well. STBs and the steering brace mainly helps on wavy pavement, where my car doesn't move around any more. I have an as of now stock '91 GTA to compare to my heavily modded '91 T/A. Also, steering feel is much more vague without the STB and brace.
