the bar i was talking about goes across the rear seatbelt bolts from the top, not bottom.
are the falken azenis better than the pirelli p7000?
poor man race tires huh? i dont mind spending a bit extra to get better tires...
also the reason i am planning on goin wilwood brakes are because i plan to tune up my engine later maybe with a turbo and i need some good brakes...
i dunno one guy tells me tein ss coilovers but u are telling me koni yellows with ground control (springs?)
i was thinking eibach for the sway bars (how big are their bars?)
what are canards that u speak of?
and yes i plan to do all those weight reduction things and then some.. what u guys think of flexite windows in the rear? (not street legal in the front) they take off 20-50 pounds..

oh ok sort of a mis communication there sry.. so i should get that crossbar and a strut bar that mounts lower?
also what are tie bars? are they smaller than strut bars? the things that ive seen beside some strut bars?

strut bars are up top, tie bars are down low. you'd be able to get a front lower tie bar, front upper strut bar, rear lower tie bar, rear upper strut bar, and also a c-pillar bar.

the one way up there is the c-pillar, the one lower is the rear upper strut.
and i don't think anyone can tell you the perfect suspension set up for you.

From what I've heard, the tein SS system doesn't handle very well - it was designed with ride comfort in mind - and you're looking at about $850-900 for the set. I would rather go Koni Yellow ($500) with custom rate ground controls ($300) and have an extra $100 to spend elsewhere.
Tie bars go under the car and strengthen the chasis a bit.
Canards are these triangle looking things that attach to the side of your bumpers to provide frontal downforce.
For the rear sway bar, if you want to save a little money there you can get integra rear LCA's with the JDM ITR oem sway bar, I beleive it is either 21 or 23mm.

i dont mind shelling out a lil extra money to get the better parts..
but will the koni yellows and custom rate ground control springs offer the best handling in terms of shocks/spring setup?
and can anyone please answer my question regarding the azenis vs the p7000s?
also what are LCA's? that u speak of in the rear?
and is 23mm a good size for a sway bar?
what is eibach's size?

i dont think straights will be a problem.. im puttin a b18c1 in there and wether i keep it N/a or go a turbo... im all for the speed, i just plan to get the swap first.. hook up the car with suspension, tires, wheels, brakes and then goin for some engine mods
