What are some upgrades I should consider (shocks, springs, sway bars, turbo tie rods, etc. ?) and in what order ? what is the best bang for the buck?
My car currently has 195/65/15 tires, stock springs, shocks, and front sway bar. thanks, Levon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

IMHO... Koni's are much better if you want to do some spirited driving as they are adjustable. I would get those and put the coil overs on with 150- 200lb springs. If you are just doing spirited driving you may want to stay on the lower side. If you are wanting to AX you should go to the 200lb. Torsion bar wise... if you are AXing I would do 23mm hollows, but if you are just wanting to do this for the street go to a 21 hollow. The H&R progressive rate spings I have heard good things about, but I have never used them myself.
