Best thing I ever did. I have Steeda full lengths and no name torque box reinforcments on the lowers. Its a very noticible difference. I would go with a nice set of full length ones. Once they are one they are not that easy to remove, so your kinda stuck with what you go with first. And most of the nicer name brand ones that I have seen match the contours of the car so well that you would almost think they were from factory. I went with the steeda cause they looked like the MM ones that everybody likes but they came with a plate that helps support the front of the TB's and provides a more secure weld that is supposed to distrubute the load better. Any I thought it would help.
My install job cost a bit more cuase I needed to have my TBs straightened and repaired.

i'm not positive if the set is still available but for under $500 you can purchase the kenny brown 3 piece kit with super subs, strut tower brace, and lower g-load brace. i noticed a HUGE difference when i installed the kit on mine and have had no issues. shop around for subframe installation costs, a local muffler shop did mine for $50 while other shops quoted me up to 4x that amount.
I know this sounds odd; but along with subframes, a few tie ins here and there and a 10 point cage I also welded id say 75%of all body seams. Hell if you were local I would do the welding for you for nothing.
Made a gigantic difference.
Takes a good deal of time and you basically have to have the car stripped down to nothing, but trust me when I say that its worth it. Been working in a chassis shop for just over 6 years and a lot of people 'want' to do it but a lot of people cannot afford to have a car down for the time it takes to strip it out and do all the work.
AH well.. just my .02.

Getting some SFC's too and at the same time reinforcing my torque boxes as they are starting to tear :$ Best mod to do on a fox, one of my friends has connecting frames and the car feels 200x more solid.
You could try to put some viagra in the gas tank, that should make the car stiff for a little while lol

i put maximum motorsports double cross sfc's under my vert and it helped alot,but what helped more than anything is the strut tower brace ask anyone who has put one on they will tell you that they didnt realize that the firewall was the weekest part of a foxbody till after it was installed.i could tell a world of difference afterwards.
