ssince your gettin 18's...i tink coilover are the best way to go. jus so that you can raise and lower the car more easily to fit the 18's. and since your going to lower it, you might need to get camber kit. most peeps on here get spc because of the great price and quality. now for the sway bars, its more for auto-x or havin fun takin turns fast wit minimal body roll. lowering kit/coilover should be purchase at the same time wit the spc camber. sway bars are not needed for the large 18' rims.

full coilovers. no need to guess, and that way you cn adjust each one to get an even drop.
