What would i be looking at, price wise, for a front and rear stabalizer bar and springs. Just ones that are good, nothing elaborate or expensive, just something to make it stay flatter and handle better. Can i install them myself?

Street Beat Customs (FSTB) and Addco (RSB) are good and cheap... for springs you can get either Eibachs or H&R's.

Yes you can install these if you have the right tools (spring installation is not recommended if you don't know what you're doing).

Thanks---do you know where i can find these items? Is there a big difference between strut tower braces? I found one for 80 bucks and it looks easy to install. Thanks

Some FSTBs require you to trim the airbox mounting bracket atop the strut tower. The only two that don't are the 5th gen from courtesy nissan and stillens. See the parts list for links. Also.. you may want to consider the Stillen RSB as it should be much easier to install (I have the addco so I know it was a pain).

Street Beat Customs require hacking (as punkdork described)... Check out the parts list to see who sells them.
