coils....
unless you want to keep your springs
then get some strutbars and tie bars...anything that will stiffen you chassis
unfortunately the bigger wheels kinda negate you springs...
but i could be wrong

purchase some struts/shocks kyb gr2 are fairly stiff and the AGXs are better, plus adjustable...
If you dont have money for coils.
If you do have an extra 800 or so laying around, look into k-sport coilovers.... should pay 800-950 for a set and they are very decent.
Unfortunately if its a 240 and springs are involved theres gonna be some body roll. You can only get stiffer components to remedy.

man I have cusco comp-s coils,front,rear and c pillar bars and i still have almost the same amount of body roll as when i just had my megan springs and tokico blues. I'm pretty sure sway bars are where its at..lol I was just gona order st's because they are only about 300 w/ all bushings. I hear the whitelines from spl parts are alot better quality tho.

x 11ry billion, sway bars are for body roll. remember, bigger isnt always better. Make sure your rear and your front compliment eachother otherwise they can fight eachother. (not in a cage match either...)

another detail that gets overlooked often are things like bushings. rubber wears out over time, our 240s are old. our rubbers are old. replacing them with newer/stiffer is better.
I don't know it for a fact, i've never tested it, but they say that a stock suspension with aftermarket bushings and what not will out perform a suspension that just has coilovers. Coilovers are great, but there is so much more that you can do.
