Every step along the way, the car isnt compromised by each change, rather its just getting better overall.
i dont think thats the case. when you go to mod a 30 year old corolla, the chassis support makes sense because with 200 treadwear tires, the door light would come on under lateral loads. those braces might do something but im sure the sways are doing about 95% of what you would be feeling. going with sway bars before coilovers can make sense but if youre intent on getting coilovers i would wait. its kind of like adding salt to your plate before you have the steak imo.

there are plenty of cars running coilovers and ridiculous tires without the cusco brace with tons of success so you shouldnt worry about it.
