Personally I wouldn't change anything but tires. The handling is great already but tires do make a big difference.

I'd say there is 3 stages of doing this. If you want just a little better handling, get a rear sway bar and see how that feels. If you want just a little more, get powell's yyz springs and see how that combo feels. If you still want even more, get powell's xxx sway bar and the koni yellows. If you have done all that, you will have one of the best suspension setups for the money, but like I said do it in stages to get a feel for how they change the car so that you can stop at the stage you feel satisfies what you're looking for, whether its a simple improvement or a big improvement.

Because outside of stickier tires, a sway bar is the next easiest thing to do. Not to mention the sway bar is also cheaper.

Yeap, for sure. Very easy...only 4 bolts holding it on the rear twisting beam.

Tires will fix your problem, no need to change springs or ride height. sway bar is the second thing Id do. Pretty much what the majority has said here.


Oh and those Nittos I hear are amazing. Did you get 235s/40/18 , 245s/40/18, or just 225s/40/18? I heard you can upgrade as high as 245s on stock suspension without rubbing issues.
