it would be the occasional race. But the thing is im real maticulous about my ride and it bugs the **** out of me that the car leans like a boat so i figured sways would help but i just dont know if they would help enough to make the whole kit worth 900.

Well sway bars tighten up the handling.. I think they are worth the money... I would go with eibach sportline springs and then just order the strut/sway bars later..

stock shocks and struts will wear out faster than usual in a lowered car because they are not operating within the intended range of motion. to save labor, I say get the s/s done when you do springs.

no.. just getting springs wont damage the car but it will wear the inside of the front tires if you dont get C/C plates and your stock shocks will go soon too... so you might as well get shocks and springs... (strut)
