Better handling...where to start?

i want my car to stick to the damn road when i take a turn at 40.

what do i need suspension-wise?

whats the best, and where can i buy them.

strut bar?
sways?
springs?
struts?
shocks?

i know absolutely nothing about suspension stuff, except that its cheaper than adding power and warranty-friendly usually.

yeah and i also want to keep the stock 19's/ thanks.

springs and sways is where I would start, and depending on the drop, shocks as well or a good set of coilovers

Quick......around corners!

My vote......Stillen sways......Tein Z H techs........Richie Strut bar. You can
do this in any order you wish but once the sways and strut bar go on you'll
be a "Tight Ride" By adding the H-Techs you're lowering the center of gravity
and body lean won't exist......just like mine!

What year is your car? Im gonna guess a late 04 or an 05 judging by your sign up date. Here are some links of good items to use. Basically its all the stuff mentioned above. You dont have to buy from the sites listed, they were chosen randomly.

Sways

Springs

Strut bar or Strut bar


These wouldnt hurt either

Spring and sways, I recently installed Cusco sways and Tein coilovers, BIG difference in handling. Later on, you can get the struts, lower tie bars, lower the car, GTSpec 4 point mid chassis brace. =D

I simply didn't want to drop my G, as I've encountered too many issues on past cars that I didn't want to deal with this time around.

That being the case, I added sway bars to my '05 6MT and it made a noticeable difference. Very happy with the results.

If you're not already set on spending big for coil-overs, and you're not sure if you want to decrease your ground clearance further, then sway bars would be a great place to start. See how you like the improvement and then consider additional options, if you still want to.
