Newbie suspension questions?
Im only looking to spend around 1200 with install on everything for suspension. What would you guys recommend me to get. I was looking for a neuspeed front tie bar, a set a sway bars ( Not sure what combo is the best), springs and struts or H&R cup kit. What would you guys recommend, like what brands and setups?
Also what order should i buy the stuff in. I have like 500 now to spend.

Rep Power: 417 h&r cup kit isnt out yet. or atleast last time i checked it wasnt. expect to get new shocks eventually, you get to decide if you want to do that now or later.
if you get it now, konis are your only options and those run $550. this is excluding your spring. you can also get true coilovers that come with shocks for around $1000. but ya you only have a $500 budget now so either you can just stick with springs or lower your car later on when you have more money. i personally just decided to lower the car with springs untill my shocks blow. springs should cost around $200 installed. or if you can install yourself you save $80-120.
spring give you the best improvements. then sway bars.. i would try to get a 19mm RSX sway bar. might be able to find one for $50 with bushings are clubrsx.com. if you decide to go with a 22mm, your going to end up spending more as you will also need a tie bar and maybe new endlinks. reason being, the 22mm might be too stiff where your endlinks will rip off.
neuspeed front strut bar. nice cheap, solid design. like $100.
