Suspension's Order, What works best? Options

[Consynx]

Okay, i'm going to list some some of the parts for our cars.
Just trying to get some info from personal experience about what made the turns easier...

List:
Front Strut Brace: TRD, Cusco, J-Speed or JIC
Rear Strut Brace: 3-pt or 2-pt
Front Sway Bar
Rear Sway Bar
Lowering Springs: Eibach or Ground Control
Shocks/Struts

well...i've got eibach sportlines and kybs..and it did tighten things up a bit....but IMO you'll get the biggest gains from sway bars....if i was gonna put an order to it..i guess i would say:
springs/shocks actually this should be 2nd but i think EVERYONE does this first
sway bars
strut bars
of course this is assuming that you've already got rims & tires..cuz if u got crappy shoes, your already dead..lol
speedtoe, your thoughts?? your the man when it comes to this stuff!! lol

You should really decide what your goals are for the car before you decide what you want to change. Do you want to autocross? Do track days? Drag race? Just cruise? How concerned are you with ride quality? The answers to these questions will make your suspension modifications much more coherent.

What if he's like me, just crusing around the neighborhood..i have rims and in the future i would like to drop my suspension so that there isn't a huge gap in my wheel well. Anything imparticular?

??

If i just go with a 1" drop will i still need to upgrade my struts and shocks?

oh damn man all this time i been replying to your posts as "hey 95st" lol never even saw your name in your advitar..loli'd say sway bars will make the biggest difference...when you put on your bigger rims your gonna notice more body roll..when i did the springs& stuff...the roll went away...
not much gained over that...then again, our cars already handle real nice as long as you have got some good tires on..

lol yeah, my name is Brian. I spell it right unlike ghey CraigSpider aka Bryan. Where is a good place to get sway bars from? And do they sell any strut bars for the front on any American sites..all the ones i've found were japanese and couldn't understand any of it?

my goals is to have an incredible ride...
i can withstand the bumps, but also there's bumps on some of the bends on local roads here...
as i've been stiffening things, i've been noticing more of a jump.

i already purchased most of what i plan to do, i'm just saving for the last thing now
first i went and got the Eibach Sportslines
i stuck with stock shocks/struts
then i got an old TRD Strut Brace.
and most recently i bought the JDM Toyota GT-4 Rear Strut Brace.

I think the rear does more than the front, but i'm sure if i take off the front, then drive around...it would seem just like it did w/ only the front. They work good as a pair

like i said, i'm saving for Suspension Techinique Sway bars now, and after that...the car should be in a garage sleeping for a year
during which i'm going to try to save for OZ Supperleggra Golds with Spacers and also with Yokohama wrapped around then

Doesn't TRD make struts that fit our cars? Are all FF Celicas the same suspension wise? (shocks that is?)

[presure2]

hey brian there are a bunch of places to get sway bars from, nopi sells the set (front&rear) for like 250 i think...

[95STCelica]

how hard is it to install those? Do you get it done professionaly?

[Consynx]

supposdely not a complicated install, just one that requires somes and muscle
