complete rollcage. it will cost some cash, but also it will be well worth it.

Or if you don't want to spend that much money and want it to be street-legal, I would recommend braing the hell out of that. We use our Camaro for everyday driving and autocross. We have subframe braces, strut tower brace up front, and a steering box brace. We used my GTech meter and it got an estimated 1.04g on street tires. We also have Bilsteins on all four and stiffer & lowering springs.

dont know why you would say a rollcage is not street legal. two people i know, one my cousin, has a rollcage he put in, it passed inspection with flying colors, and its an almost everyday use car.

I wasn't saying that rollcages themselves are illegal, its just that most people who get them will gut the interior. My dad had a rollcage in his 84 Rabbit and he drove it everyday. My main point is that the subframe connectors and other braces will probably be cheaper.
