i think that i am going to get either steeda springs or even go out on a limb and try the new summit progressive rate springs. i am then probably going to get some tokico HP shocks and struts along with subframe connectors, maybe the latemodel resto brand for 60 dollars. i want to get swat bars but dont know which ones. any opinions and comments are greatly appreciated...

Steeda springs and Tokico blues should be a decent setup

i'd stay away from Summit or Jegs brand stuff since they're usually other brand's knock-offs of a knock-off

if the sfc's are $60 they're not coated so watch that. as for the swaybars i'd skip them and put the extra cash toward Illiminas or Bilsteins

I went with the Eibach matching swaybar kit, front & rear. Supposedly they are designed to go with their springs. I like how the car handles. I just wasn't sure if there was a better swaybar alternative. Usually these sorts of same brand packages are already scienced out for you.

Sounds like handling is what you're after. If that's the case, I might look into an IRS setup, as I'm sure you know it's more or less a straight bolt-in.

I would save a little more cash and get a illumina kit with mathcing tokico springs. and drop the extra $40 and get the MM full lengs

I would trust Summits springs. I have Summit 4.10's in my GT and they are stout. I beat them and they dont break.

I just installed Summit cross drilled and slotted rotors also, they looked REALLY nice quality wise and look killer on the car.

I was going to order the Summit springs but instead I got a set of Roush springs off a buddy of mine.

I installed my Roush's today, they sit nice... its a little lower in the back than the front is. Looks cool, dunno how it handles yet though.

Prepare for a fun install if you do it yourself.
