subframe connectors are made for autocross. they stiffen your chassis which in turn gives u better handling. they should help u with drag racing too

get these:

i can tell you i noticed a huge difference with the general driving and the way the car feels around a corner with the SFC to be honest i didnt notice any feeling of the 60 foot ebing better, it just is better, but you do notice the difference the first spirited corner you take, feels flatter even though the whole car still rolls, kinda hard to explain, but youll like it.

would like to upgrade TB and plenum but don't know what size is best for staying n/a . Also not sure wich brands are better than others, prices are all over the place. Does it even do any good to order a TB before getting a plenum and vice versa? Or will they work decent alone till I get more money?

tb/plenum is a waste of that money...

get an o/r mid pipe or SFCs....sound of o/r pipe > .05 hp gain from tb/plenum

honestly though...$150 aint much when it comes to modding...ide hit the guy up on the o/r pipe
