Understeer.com sells a reinforcement kit front and rear. The rear consists of these parts, quoted from their website:

I was also wondering if the reinforcement that they have there is "good enough" or if I'm better off going with the z3 strut tower thing all together. My next question is about the upper control arm bushings and camber adjustment. Bav auto again has a complete camber adjusting kit for 269.95. Then they also have an upper control arm bushing set that says its camber adjustable for 79.95 for the outer, then you could buy the inner for another 70 dollars.

I know that the shock mounts are a weak point and I just don't want to spend to much on something that probably won't make much of a difference. I do plan on using on the track a little, but its mostly going to be for going around town and taking corners really fast. Any advice is appreciated
