Default chassis braces???

ok, so since i'm about to do an h/c/i swap i'm figuring that i should put in subframe connectors. i've also looked ata strut tower brace and a 4-point lower chassis brace. however i can only really afford 2 of these. i know i need the subframe connectors, but i don't know what i should add on top of that, or if i should even worry about the other 2 yet. what do yall think???

i would just buy the subframes. they are worth their weight in gold on a fox because the foxes twist like a pretzel.

if you plan to do a lot of high speed turns then you may want the strut tower brace but if not, dont worry about it.

I have all 3 and they really help around turns. I personally like going faster in turns than a straight line. The lower helps keep a-arms stable and gives better steering geometry. Sub frames help the most, strut tower brace second, lower K-member is only like $55. Get some Eibach sportlines too for handling.
