OK, so I've got $1100 coming to me. I didn't go the way of coilovers, I have tokico struts and megan shocks waiting for me to put on my baby. My question is with the $1100, what should I buy for the car next? I was thinking ruca's and f&r sway bars. That would leave me with maybe a couple hundred on whatever. what do you guys think. Any info is much appreciated.

what do you have now?

how are the insulator bushings on your tension rods, control arms, camber / toe arms, subframe etc etc...

the tension rod bushings were replaced along with....damnit, another set of bushings to pass inspection. I haven't had the car on a lift myself to see how everything is, but inspection wise it was all passed(i know that doesn't mean a whole lot) everything is stock, just as i bought it, thats all I know atm.

Do you have any strut tower bars?

What I would do...

Front Adjustable Pillow Ball Upper Mounts
Rear Camber / Toe / Traction arms

STB's & or Sways

and then you are pretty much set!

The STB is great because people can see it and u can tell them how hardcore you are.

or u can get tires and driving time that no one will notice...but you'll be faster

if u must get bars...then +1 for sways...but along the way get new sway bar endlinks (SOLID ones)

Sways before stbs. RXB before STBs. Tires before STBs. Um... Bushings before STBs...yeah...Driving time (if you have time) before anything else.

Just get a rear anti-sway bar first.

sell the struts & springs, order some stance coilovers, a pair of tires, and reserve a spot on an upcomming drift day.

lots of blinker fluid, or u could pick up a used diff and coilovers.
