Biggest Handling Improvements?

I've got 40 series tires and some B+G springs... pretty happy with the changes so far... what suspension upgrades do you notice the biggest handling improvements?

Thanks!

Neuspeed upper strut bar. Almost everyone on the site has one and can feel a difference in cornering.

For me, the biggest felt improvement were my 205/40/17's, Eibach Sportlines and Koni's. The least being my Ebay Strut bars and DC Tie bar.

The #1 part that you can change that will give you the biggest improvment in handling are Tires.

After tires, the Proper alignment is VERY importatnt (Not the factory alignment)

and finally, the proper springs, Shocks and anti-roll bars.


Strut bars make the car Feel a whole lot better, but do relitivly little to improve handling, because they are just allowing the suspension to work better but that suspension is still tuned to handle a certin way. Like Stock is tuned to understeer, so if you get a strut bar, the car will feel a whole lot better but the car will still understeer.
