Question:
If I install these:
http://www.steeda.com/products/three..._box_brace.php
...and a strut-tower brace, how much difference do you think it will make? (My suspension is entirely stock, btw.)
Just wanted another opinion before I forked over the money and effort. I'm planning on upgrading my shocks n struts at some point in the distant future, but I'm looking for quick (and cheap) things I can do to address the body roll and cornering.

I know I want new struts and springs (I've been drooling at Steeda's Stage-2 package for a while) but that's a little over my budget for the time being. It's not expensive, but I've got a big vacation coming up and I'm trying not to throw down $1500+ right now. My 'Stang's my only car and daily driver, so I can't afford to futz it up or have it on blocks for days if I hit a mech-knowledge snag, so I'd have to get someone to install the parts. That costs $$.
I figure if I find a tidy little package, with the whole kaboodle...shocks, springs, front n rear swaybars...I can do the swaybars, but I'd want a shop to do the shocks. Especially if they have to do a realignment. I got a pretty good repor with my dealership, but I know they'd probably still rake me on labor costs.
I dunno...I'll think about it some more, I guess. Anyone know of a trustworthy, 'Stang experienced shop, in the Sterling VA area?

Don't bother with the steeda TQ box brace.. Order a set of BMR Boxed Subframe connectors and have them welded in. That will do what the Steeda ones do and a whole lot more. Plus they are only like $10 more.
