Best "bang for the buck" SS street suspension improvements?

Where's the real low-hanging fruit on the 2010 for improving the car's street driveability?

Swaybars, or does it really need springs?

Also, are there things like Strut Tower Braces available/relevant? Forgive the ignorance also; but (and I know this may not be relevant) would subframe connectors or the like help with the body of this vehicle like its predecessors?

Thanks,
Matt

Really only sways are necessary (both sways)....youll dial out the understeer and the car will turn dead flat!

The car this time around is ridiculously stiff, and sound. The REAL low-hanging fruit is gonna be subframe bushings or sway bars. Give Pedders a call for more information on this.

STRUT TOWER BRACES ARE NOT NECCESSARY ON THE CAMARO UNLESS THE CAMARO IS SET UP FOR SERIOUS ROAD RACING.

TO ASSIST YOU ON WHAT TO DO, YOU REALLY NEED TO DESCRIBE YOUR EXPECTATIONS, DRIVING HABITS, AND BUDGET RANGE
