Strut braces really don't do much for our cars, they're pretty stiff from the factory pretty much just good for looks.

The rear sway bar made a huge difference, was definitely worth the money for how I use my vehicle.
The front strut brace helps, but you will only notice the difference if you push your vehicle hard, like at the track.
And since I do run my car on the track and only paid $25 for my brace it was well worth my money (yes redfire, I'm looking at you.)

Lol hey man for $25 I'd buy something that would do little to nothing for me too, but then again I'm not at a track and most of us aren't running at the track.

the shaker would be more for looks than performance. but the bumper sounds like the way to go for starters.

Anybody have problems jumping from 3rd to 5th gear with their Hurst?
Ever since I installed my shifter, going from 3rd to 5th is iffy.
Most times it's ok, but sometimes it wont engage right and 5th grinds.
Haven't had a chance to check it out, so I've been hitting all the gears on my way up.
Not on the GT, its got a better gearbox.
Our sixxer have the primitive T5 so that's why you struggling at times.
I do a lot of 3rd to 5th like you do but you can't do it quick, it'll mess up at times.
Never experience a grind though...
