what are the cheapest ways to stiffen the rear end of my s13, w/o touching the struts or springs. swaybars and braces? spacers?

searching doesnt always help.

3 rear end suspension links.
rear upper control arm $300-400
toe link $250-300
traction bar $250-300
(spl parts or battle version are quality usdm products for these pieces. or you can always go for expensive blingy jdm products like me. lol)

and then you could always get subframe spacers and sway bars. $100 and $200 respectively. and rear strut bar $20-200 depending on brand.

oh yea, replace worn out bushing with stiffer polyurethane ones. or expensive nismo ones?

do-luck or jspec rear ladder bar. $240 and $100ish respectively. might as well get the jspec copy cat since you'll have to cut it up to fit usdm chasity.

if you wanna go hardcore w/o getting coilovers. get spl's adjustable lower control arm. and maybe a traction rod brace (although i hear those mess up toe somehow and will kill tires).

im sure they make rear under chasity bracing and rear a-arms as well. dont see widely distributed ones yet.

yea, you can get all that w/o getting coilovers. cheapest way would be getting $100 spacers and $20 strut bar. if you want to go all out, then get all of the above.

IF I MISSED anything, im sure someone will post up some more stuff.

The best way to make it stiff is by touching yourself and not the car.

Why not just get suspention, the best wayis what FR said, then a cage, but running a cage with stock suspention would be soo stupid

i thought SPL was built in JAPAN...cause their prices change with the exchange rate for the Japanese Yen.

oh yea. my mistake. well, wherever they're built from does it matter? i got mixed up from reading some other thread and some guy was saying start supporting usdm companies lik spl and battle version. i think it was that japanese yen currency getting stronger thread.
