this is mostly for street use, but I want to get into autocross once I get upgraded suspension. I want to spend no more than $1K (initially).



1. I was thinking KYB AGX's, the eibach pro-kit, and some new bushings all around. If you have any suggestions or criticisms let me know.



2. which is better: eibach pro-kit springs, or suspension techniques? the st springs are considerably cheaper



3. sway bars: should I do these now, or wait and see how it feels with just the aforementioned items? I really have no idea how big is "good enough," and I've read about swapping to a TII front sway bar. comments, please.



4. I've read that pretty much any aftermarket bushings will be an improvement. Are there any I should steer clear of?

I haven't sold a lot of the ST's, I've sold quite a few Eibach kits and never heard a complaint, but as you mentioned they are quite a bit cheaper.



I sell the Energy bushing kit and have heard pretty good things about them, but I think much like you mentioned you can't go wrong with any of the aftermarket kits.

2. imma do eibach i think
