oh lol, I figured by a lot you meant a least a few grand.

But for less money i'd go for springs of your choice (unless you plan to track the car, or dump it real low, that is) depending on the drop you want, then the OEM lip kit. If you got any cash left after, do the swaybar

only thing you listed that i'd suggest is the lip kit... for the rest, there are a lot more options that turd that are cheaper and better.

How much is "a lot" and what do you want to do with your car?

Rear sway bar is a definite either way... but do you plan on autocrossing or trying any track days? Or will it just be a daily driver that you want to handle a little better?

If you're going to race at all, you may want to consider some coilovers. If not, a spring/strut set would be a better investment.

Personally, I probably wouldn't bother with the lip kit... maybe look into getting some good tires or new wheels if you want to go that way.

The front strut bar is something that should be on the bottom of your list. They really aren't expensive or anything but your money would be better spent elsewhere (like Tires).

when you upgrade your springs its a good idea to upgrade your shocks too. or get a nice clean set of wheels. the trd's in flat black look baller....well, to me anyway

thanks for all your in put. I know there are better springs out there than TRD but i live on lonsisland and it is not very flat here at all. Where i drive i have to go sideways up the driveways and stuff now...so i cant afford to get to low of a drop. Ill prob just got with the trd springs and gfx Than sway bar in a few weeks. thanks i'll post pictures if anyone is interested to see how it came . thanks

I'd definitely get coilovers if you can afford them over springs. Raise it for DDing and slam it for shows and such.

Lip kit is cool. Whichever you like best.

But I would get the Progress sway bar over the TRD. TRD is great but the Progress is stiffer, beefier, and comes with thicker beefier endlinks too.

I would say if you had the money get the Tanabe Concept G it sounds amazing. I love my TRD springs and rear sway bar a lot. My drop was pretty much perfect since someone people say it drops uneven.
