Unless the cage has already made the chassis super stiff I'd do the subs first.
"common wisdom" says tighten the car up before modding the suspension.
Of course, it depends how crapped out your dampners are.

I agree with the do the subs first. I just got some springs and caster camber plates from Steeda and got a lot of energy suspension stuff which I hear helps a ton. Also got a bump steer kit from Competition engineering. I already have the strut tower and sub frames and i think my car handles pretty well, If you want to drive it and see how it feels it's the same thing you have. 5.0 drop top. You can test what I got to see what you want [patriot]

Dont forget tires. Tires are equally important as all that other shit.
