ok so im wondering....stock suspension with sway bars and strut bars ok...or should i shell out the extra cash for struts/springs first?

 

if you don't autox or track it shouldn't matter. You will feel more of a difference from shocks and springs than you will sways and strut bars. You won't feel much from strut bars anyways, take that money and put it towards some springs and shocks.

 

no auto-x


but i live up in the mountains and there are well more windy roads up here than i can count on all my toes and fingers, took my car out for its first real drive yesterday and it just has a lil more body roll than my MSprotege did with the tokicos and racing beat sways and springs. not a huge deal but i feel her *** gettin jiggly around some tight corners...or maybe its just me getting use to driving a RWD car again.

input please

 

I added some racing beat anti sway bars to my car and felt i big difference. body roll is almost gone. I decided not to get springs since i would bottom out and some streets i drive daily.

 

yeah i live up in the boonies so i for sure would bottom out...thats why im thinkin no springs and just get the sways...thnx for the input on it helping your everyday performance/

 

A lot of people say you shouldn't, but I put in sways and strut tower braces before I did shocks and springs. The sways to me made a significant difference in cornering stability by themselves - a much more significant impact than the strut bars.
If you're looking to completely cure that "*** gettin jiggly" feel though, shocks will eventually become a must.

 

haha thnx a lot for the input...i think im gunna get the MS set-up and then the MS struts and the RB sways. lemme know if that sounds bad, im usually up to date on this stuff but im too lazy to search sorry to all the hardcore forum members who get nuts on noob's

 

you'll be fine. your suspension won't be as stiff, but sways will still help your cornering.
