Re: suspension brands and where to buy

what do you want to do as far as suspension goes? There's plenty out there, just gotta know what your goals are

but yes, progress is good

Re: suspension brands and where to buy

progress technology is the best in the 900-1,000 dollar range you can get in my opinion . i bought mine from corsport but there prices recently went up im not sure if other sites have followed suit. i believe there 850 here and this is a very reputable site http://thmotorsports.com/

bigger rear sway bar to help reduce understeer and gain oversteer, and possibly a strut bar if the sway bar doesnt make as a big a difference as im hoping

Look into the following:
DC5-S,
DC5-R with subframe brace,
Progress,
Nuespeed.

Comptech, ASR and Hotchkis are overkill for you.

My dream dampers, two way adjustable penske in a custom machined housing. There was a lot of talk about making some, but not enough people willing to spend $6000 on dampers for our cars.

tanabe is good, but I need to know more than brand to give you advice.

there are many websites that carry the products I listed, so I don't know why the website your currently looking at matters. Especially since dezod offers forum discount codes and carries the progress bar.
