Don't buy the S Techs man...what a waste THEY ARE JUST FOR LOOKS don't fall victim to the s tech bandwagon!

Get the UP and DP...plus a rear swaybar with end links...finally if you really gotta have a drop get the Prodrive or Eibachs! If any money left...get some good tires.

Oh and Steering rack bushings.

^^Werd. get the up/dp and a rear sway. your power with only a turboback isn't gonna require you to get coilovers unless you plan on tracking it. the up/dp will finnish off your exhaust and the rear sway and endlinks will add some definate handling improvement. also like nate said get some steering rack bushings. you should be able to get all that and possibly some SS brake lines. those should be your next upgrade. you were right to sell the skunk 2's. like i told you they are complete garbage and your much better off with good drop springs or coilovers. RS-R has some pretty good drop springs, not soft like the s-techs, but still has a decent ride. L8R

Here's a link if you wanted to check out the Tanabes. I don't know where the springs were purchased from as I am the 2nd owner of the car. But I see them for a little under $200 on the internet. Ride feels almost like coilovers but I like the stiff ride, corners well (as good as it can with the RE92s, lol)

Well, it's his money and his car.

S-tech + Stock Struts = Struts Replacement in 20,000 miles.

But he plans to upgrade ANYWAY so I don't think that's a problem.

Well he asked for our opinions...if he was still gonna hit the s techs he shouldn't have even asked

I just wouldn't waste money on that stuff when it can be saved for something that makes more of a tangible change.
