looking for suggestions

ive been doing a small bit of research on here and looking for some suggestions. ive got a cobalt ss sc. im looking to make it handle alot better. ive got the engine work almost done so now to put the power down.

ive got some better stickier tires going on. a stb(yes i know) now i cannot lower the car so my options are limited here but ive been looking into getting the stock ss tc shocks and struts. and the ottp swaybar, but which one i dont know yet.

ive got to keep the car as comfortable as possible and also be able to take a few big bumps, i live in ma. but i like to go down windy backroads and hit the twistys a bot, and will be at the drag strip... so if you could let me know if im in the right path or should be looking elsewere... or just suggestions on other products

I also would suggest the 1.0 rear bar, it will suit most people best. Unless you are capable of driving the car to 10/10ths on a race track... you are better suited with the "street" bar.

SS/TC springs are stiffer and not lower.

The OTTP rear bar will only help you put down power in the corners.....straight line it does nothing, struts/shocks would be better for that, OTTP mounts would be the best choice for that actually.
