Stock w/ springs.

In 4 months, My current plan is:

- TEIN HA coilover kit with pillow ball mounts
- Cusco front and CF rear strut tower bars
- Mazda speed lower arm bar
- Energy suspension bushings
- K2RD rear camber bar
- Racing Beat Delrin DTSS eliminators
- Mazdaspeed competition motor mounts, tranny mounts, and rear diff mounts
- Mazdatrix front and rear spehrical sway bar end links
- Racing Beat sway bars, front and rear.

Only thing I am not too sure on is the sway bars... anyone have a better idea on brand and why?

Important so we can help you: WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?

Tokico Illuminas (had them before the KYB AGX's came out)
Ground Control coilovers - 400# front/275# rear
Suspension Techniques anti-sway bars
Cusco front upper strut bar
Cusco rear upper strut bar
Cusco front lower strut bar
Racing Beat rear camber adjust bar
Racing Beat adjustable anti-sway bar end-links

I have a set of Racing Beat toe eliminator bushings and a full Energy Suspension poly-u kit, but I'm too lazy right now to install them.

Ted, where did you get your ES kit, and for how much?
Best I've seen is $91 for the entire kit. I find it shocking what mazdatrix charges for the bushings separately.

A friend of mine picked it up for me.&nbsp Seriously, I forgot how much I paid for it, but anything under $100 is pretty good pricing!&nbsp Those things retail for $150 full price - I know that much.

I'm running the larger ST anti-sway bars, so those stock-size anti-sway bar "center" bushings are useless.&nbsp Maybe I can unload them to someone here?

Racing Beat Springs
Tockico Illumina Shocks
Racing Beat Sway Bars


It all gave the car a really nice stance, but it is a rough ride. I like stiff responsive suspension, but I honestly think I would feel it if i ran over a tic tac.

Oh, and I use to have Eibach springs, and I hated them. They wore out really fast and felt shitty. I think the racing beat ones feel much better, just my opinion.
