Upgrading suspension and sways
OK so I'll be coming into some cash here in the near future and i really want to upgrade the suspension and sway bars. As of right now the only "mod" on the car is a K&N intake. I also plan to lower the car about an inch and 1/2.
With that in mind, I'm looking for a set of coilovers and sway bars. After some searching I'm noticed a lot of people touting Tein as the way to go for the coilovers and whiteline or RB for the sways.
I don't do any other than street driving but I'm up in the mountains with canyon roads and i love taking turns sharp. I'd like any recommendations since this will be the first car i've done performance mods to. Looking for a stiff suspension and the least amount of body roll as possible. Thanks again and let the flames begin.

My first suspension mod was RB sway bars, and I love them. I definitally noticed a big difference after putting them on (front and rear) The best suspension mod for the money. If you are only doing street driving then you don't need a set of coilovers unless it's the adjustability that you really need. A simple set of Tein S-Techs or H-Techs will give you a nice drop. Personally, I track my car and need the adjustability, so i'm planning on getting some Megan Racing coilovers for about $900. Some popular coilovers are the KW Variant 3's..which will run you about 1700 new. and also the HKS Hypermax II which are pretty expensive as well.

Well, as i said, this is my first mod car so I'm still trying to learn the basics and all that. i was told to go with coilovers b/c of the extra space is created in case I end up with some odd offsets

coilovers are nice but really not necessary for most. I upgraded to Tein S Techs + Koni struts (mainly to elminate that silly wheel gap up front) and it's a GREAT setup.
My car is primarily a daily driver but I know if I should find myself at the track, I'll be in good shape. Best of both worlds I guess.
