Handling Mods

Sorry if this is repeat, but what is thought to be the best handling/ride combo for primarily street use for an '02 SE? Any particular coilover packages, or spring/shock packages preferreed?

Thanks.

suspension

start with a fstb, then rsb, then springs and struts, then rstb

eibach springs I think are the best quality. they are build for performance but don't drop much. If you want looks or stock ride get another brand.

rstb does nothing.

RSB
Eibachs, GC coil overs, H&R springs, or Progress springs

start with the RSB (rear sway bar) and fstb (front strut tower bar)first and see if that is enough of an improvement in the handling before you spend a lot of dough and drastically change the ride with new shocks and struts...imho
