Hey guys. I'd like to start doing some suspension upgrades to my car. I'd like to start taking it to the track, and AutoX events more, but don't have the cash to throw out on coilovers. I was thinking about going with springs, and better strut bars. Any advice? Sorry for the n00b question Thanks in advance.

 

1.) Good set of tyres.
2.) Alignment with good tyre pressures.
3.) Rear 24mm sway bar.


once you can drive that, then move onto a GOOD set of coilovers, skip the springs -trust me.

 

rear sway bar made alot of difference.
stock tires are pretty good.
and of course, good alignment.

 

If you're in SoCal and you want the best bang-for-your-buck suspension-wise, go to John Mueller. Get the Stage 1 (Bushings, RSB, alignment). You can't go wrong. Less than $600 (closer to $550) out the door.

Thanks. I actually live in NorCal, but I have friends and family in SoCal, so I'd always be willing to go down there. Seems like an awesome setup, and definitely is within my price range!

 

Thanks for the link! I've been reading and it's extremely informative. I really appreciate the help!
