subframe connectors are the way to go. i like steeda, but most others like maximum motor sports. $180 for the connectors + $400 to have a shop weld them in. I think most people would agree they are the best way to add strength, just about everyone would tell any new upgrader to add them first.

the $160 or less strut tower brace is also a huge help and is something that you can bolt in yourself.
www.steeda.com
www.maximummotorsports.com
www.50resto.com
www.brothersperformance.com

ghias are tight, have fun!

a second thought, the roll cage is something for down the line - it is very intrusive and the connectors and brace have a much better impact. that maximummotorsports link has great pictures of the cages.
