Which would be a better improvement over stock? Subframe conn or perf shocks/springs?

As the title says...I want to improve my suspension. All I have is a front strut tower brace and a rear sway bar. Which would be a more effective modification in trying to have a tighter handling Maxima?

For those who have Warpspeed's sfc's, can you have a sway bar on with that? or does that need to come off? Thanks in advance.

btw - I can't afford both right now...lol

Does Warpspeed have the "new design" done yet? Any pricing or more info available?

Tokico Illumina struts and rear shocks coupled with H&R springs will give you a better sport ride then the stock setup (IMHO) with much added control and handling.

thanks everyone.

whats the differnce between the new sfc's and the old ones? Is it worth the wait?

Can I keep my rsb on with the sfc's? Or does it need to come off? I've been told the rsb is in the way of the stage 1 scf's. True or false?

I think they were trying to make them slightly lighter and easier to remove if need be...
