Suspension recommendations

I want to replace my suspension and I need help. I'm DO NOT want to lower my max, but I do want to stiffen things up a bit...especially the rear suspension (I occasionally tow a trailer).

Any suggestions?

what they said.new struts/shocks (many brands could spend 200-450), rear sway bar (addco 100bucks) front strut bar (ebay 35bucks) rear strut tower brace bar(hard to find kinda pricey) and buy some 4th gen SE springs while your at it you can find them real cheap on the forsale forum. all that will stiffen things up and while retaining good ride quality and stock height .

yeah, shocks and used se springs should do it. The addco rsb will def. help in the twisties. Same goes for the front strut bar. If you want something that is adjustable in the dampning, i've heard lots of good things about the kyb agx. If not, try the kyb gr2.

Tokico Blues = OEM ride
KYB GR2 = Firmer then stock ride

Add a RSB and front strut bar and you'll have a nice ride.

njmaxseltd , what suspension set up are on your SE, it looks like it sits pretty good, I am looking for something that will have my front end slightly lower than my rear, what do you think?
