subframe connectors, full length. You should have those already if not and if thats what you mean by reinforcement brackets I have heard good things about south side, I use maximum motorsports at the moment and I have loved them since install! Haven't had any others though so I can't personally say which ones are better or worse.

I believe Metco makes some good control arms. Also look into Maximum Motorsports, STEEDA and Wolfe's. You really cannot go wrong with any of the above mentioned.

I did a lot of research and decided to go wth Megabite uppers and lowers They will be able to handle the horse power ( which I will get next year ). Since I got them have noticed a world of diffrence in how the car grips. Maximum Motersports was also on the short list.
