I'd like to kill some of the flex and vibrations of my new vert. I'm on a budget and I don't plan on buidling a street monster. Would it be better to get lcas and a stb first or some subframe connectors. And regardless of that answer what do you think of these?

strut tower braces are great and really help out alot


if you have struts
our 4th gens may look like struts but they are shocks
a stb may eliminate a small amoutn of flexing, but most people wont even notice the effect of a stb
lca's will help reduce wheel hop, not stiffin your chassis

to eliminate those rattles i am all too familiar with i would say go with subframe connectors first

as for the ebay stuff, i can't really say because i don't even know

STBs are great for hanging your towels on to dry.

IMO:
1. SFC (Won't kill vibration though. You'll actually feel the road more)
2. LCA's
3. Relocation brackets
Last and least would be STB.

This is assuming you have good shocks and tires on the car already though. If not, do them first.

HotParts is a sponsor on here IIRC. I'm running the J&M relo brackets. Everything else I bought used for much less except for my LCA's.

80 dollar towel hanger huh? Alright then that goes to the bottom of the list. I'll start hunting for some used stuff.

I'd go with SFCs first. Not much out there for the vert but they need them even more than the coupe does.

subframe connectors = one of my last sus. upgrades = should have been my very first. do the SFC's

BMR makes some weld in subframe connectors

i put em on my vert (although they are not double diamonds) i still felt a worl of difference, especially whencoming out of drivewayz.
