Every improvement you do the the suspension will help. The goal is to remove all the excess movement in the suspension. When rubber bushings and stamped steel parts flex, it's lost energy. I still have a stock front end except for the removal of the front sway bar. The rear has everything done. Spohn torque arm, Herb Adams lower control arms and panhard bar, air bags in the springs, sub frame connectors and still have stock rear shocks.

Change it all if you want to race the car.
