i need realistic answer/comments

i have a small budget that i can work with.
I DONT autoX, Drag, or race with no plans to do so. This car is strictly my DD(and i drive it hard)that i want to improve on.
My mods are Exhaust, CAI, and 3.55 gears...if you considers those mods.

I have a list that i have been working on for a while.
MM Full length SFC
H&R Sport Springs with isolators
Tokico Blues

I would like the following but do i REALLY need these?
*LCA - i dont think i push enough power to require these
*Strut tower bar - would it really make a difference for mostly hwy driving and some
street driving?
*CC plates - from reading around the sport springs seem to be just above the drop for
needing these

Thanks- Zach

you should def get some upper and lower control arms. they stiffen up the rear a bit and assist with eliminating wheel hop. also, they dont flex as much as the stock ones and will give you better traction. get the ones with poly mounts but leave the rubber bushing in the axle housing to prevent binding.

yes, a strut tower bar will help with body flex around corners. therefore you will be able to take corners with more confidence. the SFC will also help with this and help prevent the uni-body from twisting as well.

CC plates prob aren't necessary if only dropping the car an inch

im going to be getting the H&R super sports to replace my eibachs soon

thanks. i think i will get the LCAs. i was debating on the H&R SS but i dont think i want too much of a drop so ill go with the sports.

it looks like your car is already lowered some? you sure someone didnt swap the springs before you bought it?

here is mine with stock springs and stock tire height 26"

a bone stock motor is too much for the stock control arms. getting better ones, even if you get cheap ones, are a must.

i wouldnt waste the money for a strut tower brace if it was my car

lol yea i wouldnt buy one new.. i picked one up for $20 but now that i have a bigger intake with a spacer i either have to cut it and re weld it or just srap it all together.. lol

to OP i would get a set of UCAs and LCAs upr has a pretty decient set for not too much $

I recently did my rear end, and did the control arm swap, and i would definitely recommend it!!

Also cc's are pretty much mandatory. I got MM's for under $200.

The strut bar i wouldn't pay full for.

It would help, but for the amount of room it takes up, and for how often im poking around in the engine bay, i wouldn't get one. Plus im not a fan of drilling my firewall.
