Very true. Sometimes it sucks... I paid a lot less this year in federal/state taxes (~$4k less) and am still getting back more than last year because I have a lot more deductions.
The whole tax bracket thing makes me laugh sometimes.

Sorry to go off topic so far. The debt I'm paying off is all car debt from my motor build, etc.

So back on topic.

I have recently added better sway bar end links and just ordered the one rear tie bar that will still fit my car, the rear GT Spec one that sits above the exhaust. All their other bars will not clear my oil pan and exhaust. With any luck that one will help a little...

Also considering getting some different coilovers and selling my Tein CS/EDFC. I don't drive my car very far or very much these days so I could deal with a harder ride to gain some performance on those couple track days/mountain runs I do here and there. Decisions decisions...

Got a set of used SPL ones for the front and decided to try some no-name ebay ones for the rear. The rear ones have been on for months and have held up very well so far.

Have not decided yet. Need to do a lot of research. Since I don't track much and this is still my DD for a while I think something inbetween would be good. Have been looking at KW, BC, H&R and HKS right now.

Interesting. I look forward to what you settle on, and why. I'll take your word for it, I know you would do good research. Like I said, be a while before I can do anything...there are alot of things in front of that "want".

I did a bunch or research - was set on KW V3 - but rear dampening adjustability is an issue... I haven’t been able to determine if there is an extension cable (like d-spec) to run up back seat... Could always take off wheels to adjust - but I ditched coilovers for now – will probably end up with these at some point...

From what I determined, KW V3 would be a good choice for your needs too.
