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

No one seems to be stating the first obvious suspension mods you need to be considering. Suspension bushes (and if you have Superstrut, the Fig 8 parts). Chances are that by now, they'll be pretty shagged.
Not much point upgrading everything else if the basic suspension geometry is allowed to alter drastically due to the bushes being worn. If that happens, it doesn't matter how much $ you throw at the rest of the set up, the car still has the potential to handle like a bag of cr@p. Do those things first before you start spending your money on other things.
