Default shock tower braces

Wats up. I have a 91 gt with a AOD.. the car right now only has a CAI and catback exhaust.. this is my 3 one and its also the least modified.. so here is the question BLUE OVAL INDUSTRIES caries a chrome shock tower brace for the rear shocks and the same for the front struts, I also want to add subframes (welded in). Are those braces goin to make taht much of a difference ? Also since the car is a daily driven commuter what is the best wya to spend $500 on performance parts (gears are out of the question for now)
Thanks any help is great

The braces will do alot to keep your nose heavy 5.0 on the road. I love them, because i enjoy drifting. and i like to dip on people, import drivers are always surprised to see you stay on their *** through a tight set, and fly by em before hittin' the next

*maybe before the shock brace for the rear try a Panhard bar, im ordering mine soon, i hear they will help out quite a bit. I'd still say be sure to get the front strut tower bar tho

Subframes will help out one hell of alot, I'm still waiting to get the money to get mine installed, I've got them at the house but just no money at the moment to get them welded in. I've also heard that the strut tower brace also helps for the front.
