Default RE: what should i do first?

I was looking at those deals off ebay 4pc set,for upper lower strut bars and H brace etc. I've heard good things about them. Only thing I heard bad was this one guy couldn't figure out how to put one of them on but got the other 3 on easily. It's like a $100 bucks for the whole set, good buy? Which set would be more beneficial to start?

second ones a little less expensive

I'm waiting till my stock suspension is toast befor I get an aftermarket one. I can't believe how much coilovers cost!!!! Just seems like little bed springs to me lol. But I guess you can't skimp on good ones......

i do have coilovers on the car, but they were on the car when i bought it so i don't know the quality of them. another reason why i wanted to go for the suspension rather than hp first is because my car likes to follow dips in the road guessing b/c of larger rims/tires. i don't know much about the suspension on my car, but i put larger tires on my truck and had to add a steering stabilizer because it did the same thing. if anyone knows about these products(quality/durability)... i'm interested in this one! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-97...03696755QQrdZ1

never heard of them. but if they're just $40 for all three bars, im guessing they're not the greatest of quality...

No, they're not the greatest of quality, but the fact of the matter is 90% of the cars on this forum aren't going to benefit much from the top of the line gear anyway. If you're building a full race track car, yes, spend the money and get some really nice braces. If its a DD and you just want it to hold a little tighter/flatter around the corners, the cheaper ones will be fine.

My Megan 4pc Set cost me like 70 bucks shipped, and it was more than worth the money, I could feel the difference instantly, and was pleasantly suprised.

Would the one with the 'H' brace have more of an impact first on a car?

For a daily driver, I can't imagine it mattering all that much. I'd say buy the cheeper one and spend the rest on beer. Unless you're building a ricer, in that case, rock some Linkin Park and slap on some altezzas and a big assed wing.

I would like to hear back about that $58 shipped 4-piece and if it's really by Megan and it's what Forty04 used. I'd buy that right now if that was really the case, no joke. I've been looking for decent cheap braces.
