Prodrive springs or Swaybars (cusco or whiteline)?
Which one should I get first? I like the springs but the sway bar is cheaper and might be a better buy...
Anyone????

id do the swaybar first. by eliminating roll in the rear end and getting better front end grip and rotation you might not even want to put springs on after the swaybar (i dont know what your driving style or goal is though). id also put in steering rack bushings since there so cheap and they make steering input feel a little sharper. i went with a perrin bar because it comes with heavy duty mounts so you dont have to buy those separately later. i got a good deal on my bar from Garret at www.worldoneperformance.com

i would do swaybar first. imo it makes a bigger difference in the handling than springs. i have the cusco adjustable with helix endlinks and love it. yeah and its definatly a better bang for the buck

What are you looking for in your car? Also, how much do you want to spend? If you only have enough for maybe one or the other, a swaybar would be best. Do you have the stock tires on? Many people in the racing world will actually say that tires are the single most important factor in the handling of the car. If you make the suspension on your car kick @ss, but have bad tires, it isn't going to help you. Anyway, if you are really wanting to get suspension stuff, I think the swaybar would be your single best handling component and wouldn't cost much.

I have always been lening toward the sway bar. What additional handling aspect would the spirngs provide other than a slightly stiffer ridad and lower center of gravity? Will endlinks and mounts really make even more difference in the handling than the swaybar?

How much does the addition of a RSB affect body roll? I have an 04 and just received my Perrin RSB and endlinks on Saturday. I have yet to install them, but was interested in what to expect.
