I run a upgraded A700l equivalent of a A700L2 and on high grip carpet the aluminum chassis really wake up the car. With the brace you have the possibility to alter the flex on low traction days.
It depends really of your budget you may start with some D2.1 shocks if your #6 shocks are old and upgrade to an aluminum S2 and MM2 motor mount later...
The issue with upgrading a "L" is that for the same price you may find an used EVO that is technically more easy to drive consistently...
My two cents
