A TQ arm is actually one of the last things you're going need. I'd start with subframe connectors, lower control arms, and a panhard rod.

Swing by www.speeddensity.org and register seeing as how you have a 93 Z28 (if you haven't already).

If it has t-tops the first and best thing is to connect that subframe!

toruqe arm will do more for your cars performance in a stright line and from center off of a corner than any other single mod.
subframes are always a good idea, a stiff frame is one the suspension can control easier and it will help the car live longer under whatever abuse you throw at it.

later
