Give me sway bars, revalved bilsteins, and eibach springs, and I'm okay.

I also want 17x9.5" wide wheels. MWAHAHAHA. And I hate the stock spoiler that came on my optionless RX8.

Get some adjustable Progress Technology sway bars to reduce roll. I put them on front and rear and the car handles so much better. It's tight to the ground and very responsive. The rear will get lose at high speed cornering. To minimize that and for a really different handeling 8 get the Carbing lower tower brace. I just installed it and I cant imagine this thing being more responsive and attached to the road.

Are you serious man? This is your IDEAL build and youd take the Greddy turbo? C'mon dude, at least go for Esmiril or Mazsport... this is an IDEAL build!

Audio:
Audiocontrol DQL-8
Arc audio amp with 5 channel output
JL components in the front,
Infinity kappa's in the back.
2 10" subs, with those other side of the trunk boxes (not the 4080 box, the other one)
Sound deadening.

drivetrain mods:
catless racing pipe (for the fireballs)
RB intake, (for the noise)
shortshifter (for fun)
better tires (for noise/grip)
axial flow Supercharger (it's an aesthetic choice over a turbo)

Appearance
Stock bodykit
foglight mod
puddle lights
clear corners

I could probably be convinced to upgrade the suspension with sways and springs if I was going to be driving it hard enough, but I just don't do that enough to justify making the ride harder.
