spacers are not a suspension mod....if you want a wider stance, get wheels with a lower offset, IMO.

The Stage2 LTB should be considered at the same time as the RSB

your order should be:
1. tires (if you don't already have decent tires)
2. springs/struts (at the same time)
3. RSB/LTB (at the same time)
4. bushings
5. other stuff (FSTB/RSTB/Camber plates or bolts/etc)

my order would be:

1. Tires
2. Springs/struts
3. LTBII
4. RSB/FSTB
5. bushings

I have the first 4 and the car feels excellent. I can't wait to get some new ES bushings, because i've heard they make a car feel like new
