couple of questions (sfc, front sway bar)

i would like weld in sub frames but i don't have the cash to have them welded on, so are bolt ons gonna be THAT much worse (i know about the cons of boltons)? also what are the cheapest bolt ons that function well (done a search already thanks)? also, i've seen that the 1le front sway (35mm?) is a bit less than aftermarket units, is it worth it to buy anything else (daily driver, occasional auto-x)? which would you buy first, front sway, or stb?
thanks for the help!
oh yeah 94z m6 w/ t-tops

1LE - 32mm OD, hollow inside (10 lbs. or so)
Suspension Techniques - 35mm OD, solid inside (30 lbs. or so)

If keeping the rest of your suspension stock I'd get the 35mm front bar.

A shock tower brace is of very minimal benefit if any.

SFCs are a good mod and you will feel the difference. They're not necessarily worth any real time on a road course or autox though.

With only a 35mm front bar, Bilstein shocks, and SFCs I think you'd be amazed at how much different the car feels.

That's what I was gonna say. Definately the 35mm bar, but like 94fbird said, it's not a 1LE bar which you don't want. I run a 21.5mm in the rear but I also have a 19mm and thinking about the 25mm just to play with tuning (just for autocross). Shocks, get the very best you can afford.

i was thinking bilstiens or kyb agx (adjustability), eibachs, some subframes, not sure which ones (pref. boltons), and a front sway 35mm. does that sound good? what subframes??
