Go by S & R Performance.

You can get a custom sub frame or any kind of supports you want.

Advice is free!

I was telling Gator, I pulled a runnind car in the shop and left with a bunch of pieces, why did I do that?? Knowing I dont have a lot of time to mess with moving all the stuff over.

I'm not sure which brace it is, but your more than welcome to see if it will work for you. I bought it used

convert to coil over's. will help with body roll. stiffer suspension means less room for it to fold up on ya. and strut tower bars all around. and they make after market sway bars that will help some as well. but the only things you can really do to my knowledge is, put on a solid frame, full cage, front and rear strut tower bars, after market sway bars, coil over conversion,. and they do make some pretty beefy sub frame conector kits. ya still need a good welder to put them on though.
