I currently have a 2" inch drop (progress) and rear sway bar(progress) and front strut bar(hotchkis). I am going to stick with the stock tire size and wanted better handling and a better ride if possible. I am also concerned with rubbing because my tire looks extremely close to my wheelwell and I plan on getting shims for the back and maybe a spacer in the front. I have been thinking about getting a 1.5 inch drop by tein and looking at some additional suspension parts and wanted your opinion on if they are worth the money and will affect the other parts that I currently have on

If any other parts come to your mind please post or pm me and let me know.

 

do the bushings, I love the simple mod (have a pic in profile
of the sway bar bushings) I agree with the lower brace, also.
I will be buying one for autocrossing use.

 

which brand would you go with for the lower brace?...and is there such a thing as a lower strut bar or lower tie bar for our car.....I have a front strut bar is there a lower one too?

 

I have the cheapo blue ebay lower brace that basically ties the front end together better than the factory two point pieces. I'm very happy with it for the price, nice welds and finish, fit great. After I threw on my Espelir 2" drop springs I bashed it on a speedbump, no damage. Gotta remember to go real slow over those now.

 

i used the GT Spec frame brace for the front and the TRD frame brace for the rear, they both work HEAVENLY!! As for the bushings i wouldn't know because they don't fit on the xA, or so im told.
