Default suspension stuff

i've been looking into suspension stuff more and more lately. mostly tie bars and sway bars and such. i was wondering where good places to get them are. i don't want adjustable stuff, because that's just pointless. i pretty much know what i want, i already have a gsr front upper tie bar and i bought a gsr front sway bar, but the guy still hasn't shipped it yet. and i'm thinking about a skunk2 rear lower tie bar, but what about the other stuff, like the rear upper tie bar, maybe a c-pillar bar, perhaps and front lower tie bar. :dunno: thanks.

westcoastyle has dope prices.

But do a shitload of research before you change the handling characteristics of your car so much.

i was once told by a shop owner that if you got a real coilover system like tien's or something it would be better handling then getting sway+strut bars. I don't know if this is true, someone correct me if i'm wrong. But the guy did run a succesful shop and drove a type r. So i would like to believe him. In short, if you got real coilovers u would be spending about same amount of money getting all these other misc. bars.

:werd: to most of that

however sway bars are almost essential for killer handling and a full damper kit wont replace that..

i did a ton of research and what started as wanting GC and koni yellow turned in to getting a full 16-level adjustable damper kit (tein type SS)... and im excited..
