the majority of aftermarket suspension mods are designed to be stiffer than stock, when the parts flex they throw off the geometry of the suspension, causing a decrease in performance.

sub frame connectors and strut tower braces stiffen the chassis of the car to allow the suspension to absorb road variations instead of the body flexing.

polyurathan bushings allow for less deflextion over that stock rubber bushings, again helping alignment and geometry.

torque arms help plant the tires by distributing weight and in conjunction with lower control arms help prevent axle rotation during hard acceleration.

panhard bars center the axle left to right during cornering.

how's that?
