Default new suspension

Well today my new suspension comes in today. Its TANABE GF210 SPRINGS and TOKICO D-SPEC ADJ SHOCK KIT. I will be taking pictures of the install and then a quick test drive around this nice road where I know it can handle a little better.

I just wondering what I should get next: Tires/wheels $1??0 looking at eneki rpk wraped in Kuhmo ectsa MX, HKS HI power catback exhaust $520, DC SPorts strut bars $450 for the front dont remember where i found the rear 1 at, or Tanabe sway bars $156 a piece?

i guess depends on which u want more: power or handling. personally i'd get tire/wheels and rear sway, need aftermarket lca's. $450 for strut bars is a rip...

Well the shocks, struts, and springs are installed. The front were apin in the butt when the half shaft came out of the tranny. But they went back in after about 30 minutes of screwing around with them. But then also had to drill out one of the shocks to fit 2 bolts to connect the hub to the shock tower. Then had to go into work this morning to use some tools to fix a bolt that my friend striped the tip of it. Well got back home and finished up the car and took it for a quick test drive. Left the settings on stiff for now till I go out tuo the track on friday night and pratice for the shoot out for that night. Now I just need some tires for the time being. Then maybe when I get back home from my deployment some time early next spring I will hit the track and try again. I will let you know how the car will handle on friday night for sure.

I love the suspension setup I have now but hate it due to speed bumps and dips in the road. Cant wait till tomorrow night when I hit the track.
