I really haven't put too much thought in the width yet, I'm open to suggestions for a spirited DD. I think a good chunk of my stability problem is the OEM suspension that has 114k on it. I did see wet spots on the shock boots indicating a leak. I'm going to get KYB GR2's and Tein H Tech springs very soon because I notice a descent amount of bounce when I drive. Does anyone know if a ~.6" rear drop will mandate adjustable toe bars? I'm planning on getting a camber/toe kit, but I don't have all the cash to do it all at once.
Your stock adjustment for toe will get you back in spec, you'll need adjustable rear lower control arms if you want to adjust the camber. Not really necessary for such a mild drop if you're fine with whatever camber in the rear comes naturally. I would advise against KYB's, you could get Koni's or better yet Bilsteins. They are miles more advanced than KYB GR2's. Look into Eibach or Racecomp springs.

If you're on a budget I suggest looking for lightly used 17+ dampers and springs.
