well first off best bang for buck is the suspension tech sway bar set up front and rear, though i belive in the light weight hatchs like mine and yours a fat rear one like 22mm skunk or R with beaks kit and a stock ex front will work wonders! i would not worry about lower tie bars, mor for show imo and maybe a rear upper tie bar, other then that i recomend good tires, and good aligment and i would suspect a great handling car! good luck, eric
