Sub frame connectors cost $100. LCA's range from $150-$299 depending on what you want. You should just do both.

Both will benefit you greatly. If you have to choose between the two I personally would go with LCAs. They will reduce wheels hop and help you get the power to the ground.

I would get the subframe connectors first. Everything else in you suspension will benefit from having them. With installation, they will likely cost you the same as most LCA's. Also, go with the full-length weld-in connectors. Maximum Motorsports makes an excellent sfc.

subframe connectors, it will make the body more rigid, controll arms only help when you nail the throttle and the cars frame "twists" from all the tourqe, subframe connecters should be first along with upper and lower control arms later, it wont be noticeable at first but youll see results after you upgrade more and more suspension stuff
