stiff car

i am looking at buying subframe connectors, but i was wondering if i got a 6 point roll cage if that would do the same thing and make my car stiffer. so my question is, should i get the sfc's or a roll cage. (i love the way roll cages look thats why i would get one). or do they work together to make the car even more tight?

I've heard and read that sub frame connectors are fantastic.

As far as a roll cage, I'm not sure why you would want to add the hundreds of pounds of weight in steel to your car - just to make it a tad stiffer........
There are plenty of aftermarket suspension devices that will stiffen up your car and will actually be less heavy than the stock piece it replaces.

Unless you're planning to get into the 11's with a hardtop or 13's with a vert - a roll cage would be rather pointless in my humble opinion.

Both. A cage will stiffen more noticeably then a subframe. But both is ideal

Get the subframes. Cage would be a hassle to climb in and out of...not to mention less space and way more time/money to install.

Bingo.

Just worry about the SFC's for right now.
