A front strut tower brace surprisingly makes a noticable difference on FB's. The RB sway bar is a really good piece, but then so is the Re-speed bar I have on my other FB (its lighter too which is a plus) I have Tokico HP "blues" since I wouldn't adjust the illumina's anyway, with Eibach springs (unfortunatly NLA) so the re-speed coilovers is what you should look at. If you don't wanna drop the money for the re-speed rack and pinion kit new tie rods like you said, and get the MOOG idler arm, its much stronger than the stock unit and only costs about $50 on rockauto.com.

thanks everyone, for the input, ya im not looking to drop cash on the rack and pinon kit, i actually like the stock steering, but it looks like i should go with the coilovers, k then so it's all good
