whats the best suspension set up
I have perrin rear sway bar, perrin endlinks, sti front and rear strut bars, and new tein flex coilovers, I was wondering on what height should I put my car so I get the best out of what I have, lately when I take corners really hard the back seems to have a slight wobble, is that normal for tein or just could be the tires, also my sway bar is on the middle seting. I would appreciate it if I can get your 2cents about it and see what kind of set ups other people have aswell.

You need a performance alignment and corner weighing to begin to set up your suspension for performance. The wobble could be a sign of many things, some very dangerous. I'd pull and push on the wheels, struts, tie rods, steering rack, sway bars, links, steering wheel to see if anything feels loose. Cycle the suspension travel at each wheel using a weight and a jack to see if anything pulls out of place of becomes loose at maximum extension or compression. Then I'd check the torque on all of the bolts and make sure that all of the brushing are in good shape (a distorted brushing my be a sign of abnormal stress).

You need an alignment..... for what you've done it is prudent. Also i woundnt think that the hardest setting is needed for street use.... i mean your running pretty stiff......

found the problem
I looked under and saw that the boltson the sway bar mount backed out a bit so I put some torque glue and torqued them down, I think that was the problem, but I think I also need a alingment also. thank you people for the info.
