Default a reasonable suspension set up

well i will be upgrading my suspension in the near future one reason is a feel tons of body roll in corners and tire chatter. Well i plan on getting a decent set up here but nothing over the top i don't wanna spend much maybe a grand or a little more at most. also i want it to look good as well ;)

Well my ideas are as follows

Hotchkis Lowering springs $450.00 for the set springs and sways
Hotchkis sway bar set
NT NeoGen ZR 225/45-17 $94.00 each
ingalls rear strut tower $153.27

around $900.00 Total and i will install everything but tires ;)

And if you had any changes in mind please let me know.. and i have searched and read for days i just wanted a straight up answer on this one.

scratch the strut tower bar, your not going to be driving your car hard enough to enjoy the benefits of it. and since tires are the best handling upgrade you can do i would suggest another tire. the Falken Azenis RT-615 are one of the grippiest street tires you can get and are relatively inexpensive.

I currently have the NeoGens and I am impressed with them. I think you'll be happy with the grip and with the wear. My suggestion would be that you go with progress rear sway instead of hotchkis. I felt a huge change when I did my springs (hotchkis) and the rear sway. Plus it saves you some $$$. Your struts will start going bad after a while tho, so start savin for new ones. Hope this helps. Good luck!

i wasnt suggesting the NeoGens are a bad choice. i guess it depends on what you are looking for out of the tire. if comparing the NeoGens to the Azenis...you get better wet traction and wear out of the Nitto tire but you get better dry traction out of the Falken tire. I figured sinse he lives in Florida where the weather is good most of the time, the tire performing better in dry conditions would be the better choice.
