san man is correct. MM does recommend this route, and probably is the best method.... however a lot of people find this very unappealing (our issue not MMs, every owner is impatient). I went springs/bilsteins first noticed a bit of a difference, then swaybars, noticed a large difference (i know they are to be used to fine tune the car, but i dont think i will ever get that far down the chain that i will neeed to fine tune anything)
my personal thoughts (by no technical basis at all) is to get springs/dampers, SFCs, LCAs, panhard and swabars then call it a day (this would do for a lot of people). I personally will be getting the panhard, LCAs and torque arm next, and then move to front Coilovers and then k member/a arms.... i just love handeling too much to stop.... and at this point i will probably have to remove the steeda swaybars and get something that fits to the final setup.... but alas, my screwup. its only money.
