suspension & handling Options

[dagreat1]

Ok i've heared everyone talk about how for about 2 grand you can drastically improve the handling of your vehicle... well I saved up a little more than that and I have a stock ST that I'd like to fix up in terms of handling... so what should I do? i already hav a CF hood making the car a little lighter but can anyone point me in the right direction as to what else i should look to buy or do?

coilover- tein ss 1200
shocks- koni 400
sway bars- suspension tech 300
get the beefy end links from twosrus 80
better brake pads - 60

since you have a hatch look to get a rear strut bar to stiffen that up 200

also a good alignment to more handeling specific charactaristics will help alot too, it will have you going through tires faster, but the handling will eb improved - another 80

prices are ballparked, but thats a pretty good shopping list for a noticable gain, anything else you will notice, but in my opinion wont be that great. i still roll on 18's and handeling is still awesome. i have some 16's that are for fun, but they look stupid on the car imo and the handeling gains arent worth as much as turning heads
