First off --> This poll is to help suspension n00b personnel…so if you have time, please explain your position, and VOTE!
 Okay, if you were to do one suspension upgrade, which would it be? …I know a lot of people will say lowering springs…but if you could explain why lowering springs over for example sway bars? Just an idea.  ...also, if you'd like to add a comment about a good combo of suspension upgrades, post! ...don't say ALL OF THEM  ...that is basically a given  lol. ~snap -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

^^^ Exactly.
Bigger rims will also help, due to less sidewall flex. I started out by getting 17x7.5 inch lightweight rims with 215/40/17 High performance Summer tires. After that, Tein S. Tech Lowering springs. My front strut tower brace is coming today. Will probabaly get a rear GT-4 bar or RCR bar. Then sway bars and when my struts blow, probably some KYB GR2 struts. So far I'm extremely impressed with the car, the cornering is dramatically increased. I can take certain corners up to 70+ MPH with the new springs. -------------------- |
