I really do want to drop my car, but living here in boston with the winters and the horrible roads(legit holes in the earth) the idea of bottomin out stops me. So my question, without dropping the car, would a strut bar have any benefit or a sway bar? Etc etc

Sorry if this has been brought up a million times but I searched and couldn't find much info for our cars

Live in boston too the eibach pro lowering springs are just perfect and are not to low! U don't need a Front stabilizer bar if you have the sport (must come with factory 19" rims) but the racingline rear sway bar looks to be a must.

^well that's alittle encouraging, and no I don't have the sport. I have the a model and don't get me wrong I love the ride, but there's def room for improvement. I'm new to mods with suspension and such...

Pdub34, just curious where'd you get your eibachs installed

And to be honest the reason I never considered them is because I was never part of a forum.. Seeing all the cars on here make me want to upgrade things, see what I'm missing out on

If you get adjustable end-links and align your rear sway bar horizontally with your car to get the most leverage you will notice a considerable gain in control.

It reminds me of the old Dr. Who for some reason.

I don't think an aftermarket front strut bar can make the car much stiffer. My 14' has a factory bar on it already.

JT Motoring on Hyde Park ave $250 just the labor for lowering springs and has held up for over 40k miles. Bought the springs online for cheaper than what they wanted to charge. Once lowered recommend u rotate your tires every oil change to even out the wear and your alignment in the rear will be off a little nothing serious. Also drive for a week or so after the install before u do the first alignment.
