Generally, most of the braces don't do much in terms of real-world handling. Some of them work better than others, but they really don't do THAT much.

If you want the most bang for you buck, start with a TRD (or similar) rear sway bar. Besides springs+shocks, that makes the biggest difference in the way the car handles. Well worth the money.

If you don't want to do uprated springs+shocks get yourself a good set of tires instead of bracing. Sticky tires make a WORLD of difference.

Also keep in mind that any modifications you make to your car could put you in different auto-x classes. Something to keep in mind.

I'm sure other more experience folks will chime in...

If you are planning on seriously racing this car, don't even bother with springs and shocks, go straight coilovers instead.
