If you don't want to lower it but would like to cut down the body roll and increase handling, get yourself a nice firm strut like the KYB GR2.

I have Eibachs and illuminas on 5 and I handle a lot better. Only other suspension mod is FSTB. It gives a nice drop, not too low but gets rid of most of the wheel gap. They are a little rough on some bumps though if you care about that.

I want to possibly keep this under like 500$ if possibe, like i said i just want to stiffent the turns a little more while at the same time to have a decently comfortable ride.

Most subtle and softest drop has always ALWAYS been H&R's
CHeapest struts to combine with that have been GR2's
And if that aint helping you out.. go listen to the retards who cut their stock springs or used Ground Control coil overs with Tokico HP struts.

With that said, I have had H&Rs and Tein H-Tech springs on my car. I have also had Intrax springs. Between the 3, the Teins are the clear winner. THey are firm without being overly harsh, and they do well on most all terrain that i have encountered since installing them, ALTHOUGH the H&Rs were a little more comfortable. For me, they rode a bit high for a "perfirmance" spring, while the Tein stance is level and the ride is comfortable. Even my WIFE agreed that they were the best springs that I have had, by far.
A few days ago there was a whole thread about Tein springs. I know that you cannot search, BUT if you page back just a few days, you will see my FULL writeup in a thread that was asking for pics of the Tein H-Tech springs installed.

Anyway, Tein Hs or H&Rs will run you around $180 new, and the GR2s are about $230 new. I got my Teins for $110 w/ 4000 miles on them, and I have differnet struts: Tokico Illuminas in the rear ($160 shipped from SWA) and KYB AGX in the front (came w/ the car). I LOVE the illuminas, and highly recommend them. I know that you can get them for $408 shipped for all 4 in the group deals forum.
