Depends on what engine you have.
Strut brace from a convertible. That's about it.
56mm tb off a 2.3
"A car just isn't a car without a little blood, sweat, and beers." -- Shadowfire
LD9 - Cams from a 2.3, HO and LO intake manifolds
L61 - The M62 supercharger off the cobalt ss/sc's and the turbo setup off a 03+ Saab 9-3.
3rd gen cars - Aluminum N-body control arms, but they have to be machined to fit. NWF swap. Cavfire conversions, cavalier trunk swaps. Interior swaps. Neon rear disc swaps(machining is required). 3x00 series v-6 engine swaps.

yeah, what all are you trying to upgrade??
I'm about to swap my stock base model rear axle with one off a LS Sport. The LS sport comes from the factory with a stiffer axle. I guess that counts as a junkyard mod.
^ LOL @ the "stiffer" axle. I'm assuming you're referring to the built-in "swaybar" which I see doing nothing. I'd personally save myself the hassle and add an aftermarket swaybar and be done with it.
Schulte is right don't waste your time with the ls axle get an aftermarket rear sway bar with prothane links. For the money it is one of the best mods you can do especially for the suspension.
The proper way of using the word seen. It is not I seen it that would be I saw it. He has seen the car is the right way to use the word. English class is Cool. By the way thats my sig

those terms are (usually) mutually exclusive.
cheap "upgrades" are usually downgrades in the long run.
^^^ thats a true statement right there....

My stock axle was damaged in a past accident, so It needs to be replaced regardless. Since I have to replace it anyway I figure I will just go with the LS sport axle.
I would still go with a sway bar after that you will love it.

has anybody done the control arm swap can u tell me what model and year and how much u spent on machining it and also the neon swap
speed kills save lives drive a honda
99' Grand Ams and Aleros
Only those two cars and only for that year. If you can get a set by the end of the week, John Benham can get them machined at a good discount.
