right now the car has nuespeed springs, i believe stock struts, benin front sway bar and nuespeed rear tie bar. it handles good, i just wnat a litle more. I dont have a set budget but i would like to to be reasonable. I am not a pro driver, shit i havent ever really been into autox untill i got this car and have fun around corners, now i just want it better lol. I was usually just into drag racing.
hmmmm, i think that you could upgrade front and rear sways with some from (or same size as) an ITR (cheap if you look in H/A forums). then some adjustable shocks and see how you like it because you could always upgrade from there

how is the h brace.. is it worth it
I don't see the need for supplemental chassis bracing if your suspension isn't already that stiff. Maybe your car is really weak in torsional stiffness, and in that case I would recommend the bracing eventually, but otherwise I don't see why you would spend the money on making an extremely rigid chassis before you upgrade the rest of the suspension.
I would recommend getting a decent set of coilovers with adjustable dampers and components that will allow you to adjust your camber. These will allow you to lower your car substantially, adjust corner weights it to give the car a good balance, and tune the damping to adjust for any over/understeer. After that I would say larger anti-roll bars. I don't know all the brands and models for your car, but I'd think this would be the best money spent for an unmodified car.

Hey now! Don't go letting out the biggest secret of proper suspension setup. Let them go get the swaybars and stuff. I don't want any more competition.

where would i get the corner weights adjusted, as well as the dampers. i would much rather pay someone to get it right then me guess on it.. Also what coil overs do you guys recomend? i dont want bs thats going to give me whiplash.. the car already has skunk 2 camber kit on it so the tires do sit strait.
also, would it be worth all the work to put the poly bushings on the car? its got 100k on it now.
