suspension upgrades and T Tops

I have a 95 Z with T tops and interested in getting the 1LE sawy bar and LCA/PHR beefed up. Not sure yet on springs. My question is will there be a performance gain from adding these parts or will it be smarter to add SFC first to stiffen up the chassis? Thanks

LCA's should help control wheel hop.
1LE sway bar will help control body lean.

Just depends where you are looking to gain performance first.

Never had a weheel hop issue, so I suppose the rear bar upgrade is not necessary. I'm just interested in improving the handling. Not sure I would use 1LE springs for a T Topped daily driver though they do intrique me.

I added a set of weld in subframe connectors, Koni shocks, and 17" wheels and tires to my Z28 with T-tops. Everything else suspension-wise is bone stock. Those changes alone made a HUGE difference in it's handling and cornering abilities.
