Default Need help figuring out what to do next!

I'm looking into replacing some freont end suspension parts and was wondering what would be the best upgrades to do for around $300. I plan on new shocks and ball joints up front, but don't know what else. Any ideas?

You could throw in a steering stabilizer. Heard those things are pretty sweet and do their job well.

If your doing balljoints then you've pretty much spent that $300 already. New upper control arms w/ ball joints, camber kit, lower balljoints.

I meant $300 not counting the shocks and ball joints. Should've clarifified. I was also thinking new control arms. how difficult are those to D.I.Y.?

The tops are fairly easy, I just got new uppers when I replaced my ball joints, the lowers seem quite a bit harder.
