Sways for days son.

Suspension upgrades
Ok, so this is what I'm looking at for upgraded suspension and handling. Tokico HP series shocks, Tein S series springs, SPC control arms for rear, Hotchkins sway bars, Whiteline sway links, and some H&R 25mm spacers to top it off. Anything I'm missing besides a much need alignment after?

EDIT: I'm driving a 2003 coupe that is sitting at 95k miles right now.

Whiteline bushings. I would imagine if they are not already split they will after you lower the car. Those oem bushings were completely torn & pulled out in some locations on mine. I just hit 78k miles, only 8k on springs.

Just get sways first. They may surprise you on how much of a difference they make. Then you can get the exhaust too

Sways barely did **** as far as I'm concerned. I mean I could "tell" if I really played attention, but if someone put em on while I was sleeping I would have never known.

Why would I have something against you? I'm just trying to say don't expect much from sways. The way everyone hypes them is crazy. If you've already got a stiff suspension, they barely do anything.
