Ok, just was wondering what you all thought would be the best thing to buy first, after you get an lsd. i was think'n bout just goin with sumthing simple like a stb, or sway bar, but i'd assume there would be more affective things to upgrade first?

strut bars are cheap, dont bother wasting tons on a crazy name brand, there almost all the same. Pilot ones can be picked up for less than a $100US for 2.
sway bars are very noticable. The fronts pretty big, you could do the rear if your dont wanna spend to much.

Tires, then get sway bars. The hell with the rest of that crap.

RUCA's seem to be a fav. among most of the sus. people, ie dousan :p

consider the fact that dousan has already got
a) good tires
b) decent coilovers (tein he's unless that fools ALREADY changed those too)
c) new tie rods (teins but he's getting i believe they were uras)
d) an s15 subframe
e) tension rods of some sort i'm sure
f) probably many more suspension goodies and bars
i'm sure HE wants ruca's but it will benefit him more than it would you
if you want my honest opinion, get the front stiff, a good combo would be pillowball tension rods from project silvia coupled with nismo power brace and maybe an upper strut bar in the front.
you will notice steering response like no tommorrow :)

After lsd, IF you've already upgraded the springs/shocks or gone with coilovers, i would suggest
1) Tension Rods
2) Tie Rods/Ends
3) Sway Bars

yeah i got RUCA and such..i got a lot now
too much
the jics were on loan, back on my HEs
johny5 is really close :) good memory!!! :) wow!
haha
i say get some ladder bars from Do luck. i know rear is hard to fit but the RXB and FLB are great.
sway bars are a good choice
works yamaguchi have some coing out VERY soon im picking up, sizing and optiosn look great and they are super cool.
if i had to do it on a second car (suspension stuff):
AFTER tires
1) LSD
2) suspension (shock/spring or coilover)
3) TC rods
4) sway bars
5) rear toe links
6) doluck rxb
and so forth...that's a pretty darn good setup right there!

^^ hahaha...
:bowdown:
but yeah...def start with tires, VLSD..then sell that and put the money towards a 2-way when you have the hang of it...then worry about the rest...get a decent-great set of coilovers depending on your needs...then worry about all the other stuff...

take the compliment you bastard..:p...it's the truth..you do things the right way...and at worst you have already done them the wrong way once and know what the right way should be...thus giving others the benefit of your knowledge...:D
