that makes no sense. Stiff =/= better/fast. A properly setup suspension system should actually feel comfortable, and the most immediate adjective that comes to mind when driving on a properly setup ride is "firm," not "stiff."

This then screams that you're after looks. There is no functionality with running such large wheels. So if you're after looks and comfort, you should accept that and focus on that.

stock is REAAALLYYY good for that.

Swaybars are for small adjustents for specific conditions after you've figured out the majority of your balance issues using the springs/dampers.

again, do not, ever, associate "teeth jarring" with "high performance",


I also suggest that you take your car to some autocross or HPDE days and drive the car as it is, talk to other people, ride with them, so how their rides feel.

the car is ridicoulsly capable in stock trim, if you don't know what you want then avoid buying stuff until you can answer for yourself what you need.

cuz if you feel like just throwing money around i'll take a check for a few bills
