The only issue with the RS is that they are only perch adjustable for the height. It hasn't bothered me but it would be nice to have independent height adjustment as well. The RS2 has front independent height adjustment and the rs3 has independent height adjustment all around I believe.

Perch adjustable ride height coilovers essentially force you to change your spring compression whenever you adjust ride height which can put excessive wear on the damper, if you're too low.

Stance drop pretty low but not quite as low. Buddy Clubs are supposed to drop very low but they're rare in the states.

Welcom Avox, even stock the car looks great

Well I'm pretty much finished with the appearance of the car other than rims. Now its time to focus on perfomance. Maybe some coilovers to start along with some sway bars to stiffen up the frame. What do you all think?

What is your budget? If you get springs/shocks or coilovers then is your budget blown for a year or more? If yes then I would buy quality tires (245/40) and get coilovers and then get aligned and corner balanced. Then add a sway bar if you still think you need it.

Time permitting I'll do the work myself. I'd like to stay under $1200 for the coilovers. I should be able to get sway bars for under $300. And yeah I was planning on doing the coilovers first. Tires are new. (bought within last 6 months and have maybe 2,000 miles on them.) I'll get new tires when I upgrade to a new set of rims. Probably next year.
