Default What to do first? Lowering Springs + Sway Bar OR PrecisionMuffler Axle BacK???

Which should I go for first??
I have Fujita CAI in my D right now. Just wondering what should I do next.

I googled Tanabe DF210, and the cheapest one that I found costs $160+S.

I would probably get a sway bar from microimage.

Forget the axle back, drop and rear sway bar, more bang for your buck

Are you going to get the 23mm sway bar(microimage)? I just got the Trd sway bar. The funny thing is if you go to the Scion web site select XD/accessories/performance/Trd sway bar and hit the description it says the TRD sway bar is 22mm diameter. I have measured several times, and only get a hair over 19mm in diameter. To get 22mm they must have measured while extremely hot or down right guessed. Pretty funny but I don't see myself returning it though.

I think I am going for the 19mm sway bar. Trying to keep my D as light as possible, but probably cannot feel the difference?

Just for the convenience, I am just going to purchase both df's and sway bar from microimage.

shoulda went for the 23mm, the weight difference is neglible but the extra support is noticeable.
