99 2.5 Rs
Looking to stiffen the ride of my 99 2.5RS (for fun summer driving), but can't afford to lower it much at all (if any). Living in Canada; roads often suck, plus 6 months of winter cruising. Everything is stock suspension right now. Any advice?
thanks in advance

Biggest improvement would be a bigger sway bar, then wheels and tires. Don't forget the droplinks when getting a bigger swaybar. If you don't want to spend rediculous money on lowering it I have heard that the Eibach Prokit on KYBs is a decent set up.

Rear sway bar is good bang for the buck, but nowhere near as huge of an improvement as new struts and springs would be. And I have the eibach's and agx's. Made way more of a difference than just a sway bar, But also cost way more...
Having said that, rear sway bar and endlinks would be a better first mod. I wish I had done it first. I upgraded all my suspension before I could even really reach the limit of the stock setup. It's a lot more fun to toss around now though!
Body roll sucks, but it is a good indicator of what you are doing right and wrong, and helps a lot in teaching you how to drive the car better.
