Lightbulb If you could

I have the option of either getting a BMR panhard rod or BMR lower control Arms. I occasionally hit the track, but am looking for more street performance. I am looking for something that would help me on the road not just the track. In fact on road performance is drastically more important. I also do not plan to lower the car.

Opinions?

they benefit you both in cornering AND straight line, whereas the phb only really helps in hard cornering.

sfc are going to tighten the whole car up. allowing the cars suspension to work more efficinently and the way it's supposed to, instead of the body flexing over rough roads the suspension soaks up the irregularities (like it is suposed to do).

the benefit of sfc is stiffer body for better suspension and also it helps eliminate normal body flex that causes sqeaks and rattles in the car.

also realize that i will probably cost $75 -100 to have the sfc welded in.
