if you HAD to pick

i'm trying to decide what to do first - tein s or racing beat sways.


looks wise i want the drop first, but as far as what you guys have experienced for handling alone, would you drop it or get rb sways? eventually i will do both, but financially i have to pick one over the other right now...

COST is about the same...

tein s - approx $180 (from what i've seen) + install (around $150??) + $88 (a/c and oil cooler screens for underbody protection) = $418 plus tax/shipping

rb sway $185 (front) + $48 (endlinks) + $155 (rear) + $0 (install myself) = $388 plus tax/shipping

i'd get the sways until you can afford to pick of shocks with those springs....have the tein S and love them with my Koni shocks....but if I could go back I would have gotten the sways first

I agree with dtorre, get the sways first. You will be amazed at the difference in body roll.

Thanks

i appreciate the info! i'll take your advice and go with sways first - the sh!ttyroads in downtown dallas don't really support lowering the car anyway!!!

side note: if you guys have rb, did you get the bigger endlinks? i guess for $50 it's not a bad idea, i'm just curious if it's necessary...

I did. I heard some people were having problems with the stock ones breaking with the bigger swaybar. I cant even describe how much better the car handles with sways.
