Front strut tower bar, and a rear sway bar. Should look at the Eibachs. Doesn't really slam your car; lowers it about an inch or so.

IMHO, rear sway bar will probably give the best bang for the buck. I have the Aussie Bar on mine and love it! Get backing plates if you get a much bigger bar though. The stock plates will rip off pretty quick if you drive hard. My next mod is subframe connectors.

Well, I whould love to have Eibach's, But If I go that Route I need new Shock's and a caster/camber Kit and that will cost me over a grand!!!  Unless I Wouldn't need the shocks and caster/camber Kit?????  However, I know with my budy's honda needed all that $hit just to make his car drivable??? :rolleyes:

IMO the major thing up front that should be upgraded is the strut bearings/mounts. I have tell-tale marks of how much they give and move around! Can't argue with the rear bar. Installing the "Aussie" bar was literally Night & Day difference...
