1st suspension mod?

What should my first suspension mod be? I was thinking about lower control arms. I heard they helped alot. Whats a brand that will feel close to stock but will also keep me on the ground and be stiff when I need it? Since I just purchased my long tubes, I am going to start to get into suspension. Any info appreciated! Thanks.

The first thing I would do (and did) is put in sub frame connectors aka SFC. Then a steering tower brace. These will stiffen up the whole car noticably. You will feel a difference.

I have weld-ons. I would recommend weld-ons. I have not personally talked to anyone with bolt-ons. But most threads discussing bolt-ons say they eventually work themselves loose, elongating the bolt holes over time.
