Front strut tower brace is always good, first suspension upgrade i did and like how the car corners a little firmer than stock and alot of people swear by the Rear Sway Bar, which is going to be my next suspension upgrade and also springs and struts/shocks, but everyone you ask has their own opinion on which company and whatever

re: suspension upgrades

I have Courtesy front and rear strut tower abr, rear sway bar, Eibach pro-kit springs, and Koni adjustable shocks.

front STB: $70, much better steering feel in sweeping turns.

rear STB: $70, nowhere near the same effect as the front, looks cool though.

rear Sway bar: $240, very neutral handling, much less understeer, more confidence going into turns.

springs: $240, way, way, way less body roll in cornering, lowers body ~1.5" - looks much better

springs: $500, way, way, way frimer ride, the Koni's are adjustable though (but I've had them on their firmest setting since I got them).

BTW, one of the best suspension upgrades to get if you haven't done so is TIRES!!!!!

I'm currently looking at either Dunlop SP8000's or Bridgestone Potenza RE730's.
