You don't need any of that. You should have a goal with your car and what you want to be done to it and why you want it done. You could just have one of those parts or you could have all. Why do you want all of those parts??
There are other things to get like bigger endlinks, camber plates, poly bushings, poly motor mounts, aluminum control arms, etc. There are more suspension parts than what you have listed. Nothing will blow if you do it right the first time.

Okay my basic goal with the car is to achieve a perfect balance between track and daily driver. I was asking as far as the suspension itself goes, if i get that stuff will I be able to fully control the suspension. I know i probably will need like thicker parts here and there and ill probably have to do something with the brakes too, but as far as the general suspension, is that all i need to have pretty much full control, I can add to it later.

P.S. Like i said in earlier posts this car is going to be my toy for many years to come. I have no problem with like doing 2 or 3 engine swaps in the future just for the hell of it. But for right now im just playing around with stuff, i figure the car just came out there isnt much for it, in a few years the market will be littered with all kinds of things and ill just try whatever, i need performance but i want a decent ride as well as a comfortable cockpit.

full balance is a hard thing to acheive. The only way to really understand each part is to take it out to the track everytime you add/change a part. And there are so many parts to choose from in each category, which ones do you choose from? You have a good sense of how to make the car stiffer, but don't have an idealistic vision of what all these parts will do to your car. I mean you can make your car handle similar an AWD STi, but you may have to experiment with different parts which can take along time and alot of money. I suggest taking your time and research each part you are going to buy. Don't rush into anything.

that is exactly what i had on my ex. you might want to look into poly bushings, poly motor mounts, aluminum control arms.

robbclark1's pushing you in the right direction.

If you just go out and buy a bunch of parts, slap them on your car, then shure it will probably handle better. But most likely not to its fullest potential. Infact some of those parts, or a combination of them may actually make the car handle worse!!! the only way to be shure is to....

1. reasearch!!! Find out what each part does, and how that affects handling.
2. Decide what level of Comfort Vs performance do you want or are willing to put up with (Ya cant have both)
3. once you do decide on the above, plan out what you are going to do first. and Do one part at a time!!!! (thats the hard part) This is due to the fact that most suspension parts will need to be tuned to work best with your driving. and Its best (easiest) to tune each one individually rather then as a whole unit. (You may find that you dont need certin parts to acheave your level of perfomance/comfort).


There are, however some parts that are good to have regardless of what suspension set up you end up with. And these parts are Structural Reinforcements!!! The reason for this is, a flexible chassis is not good for handling at all, because it acts like a Giant undampend spring. makeing tuning the rest of your suspension Virtually impossible and rather pointless.
another part that may be good would be replacing your suspension bushings with Polyurithane bushings. this will reduce compliance in the suspension, allowing the suspension to perform better over all. this will ofcourse increase the amount of road feed back you will feel, so it may not fit in to your comfort/performance expectations.
