handling advice needed

i think i might have gone too cheap with my shock setup,<KYB adjustable shocks> but it has alot of body roll still, and i literally want a rock hard set up. and its difficult to find any brand other then edelbrock for coilovers strangely enough. or at least i havnt found any other brands yet. im putting a 8 point cage in to get rid of some of the chassis twist as well as sub frame connectors down below. i dont plan on this car being road friendly, in terms of ride quality, i want this to be my track car. and thanks for that website, alot of goodies :-) and this may be a strange question but im wondering if anyone makes some form of a power steering rack brace, to take some of the stress off the rack. thanks again

you cheaped out with those shocks. Dont do it on other parts or you ll be buying them again. Konis would be the way to go for cornering and qa1's for drag racing.
Sam strano can answer all of your questions. Stranoparts.com
He is god for a fbody suspension.

I ran Koni SAs, Strano sway bars, Strano springs, Double PHB and my Z-28 handled as good as my '01 Z06 Corvette. Sam is the man with the plan. Email him for more info!

swaybars should correct body lean, springs less so
