What should I get first? Springs or Swaybars? - Page 2

Sways first. I have Whiteline 27/29 up front (set to 29) and 24/26 in back (set to 24) with RCE springs. It's slightly better than stock for a daily driver, but it's also night and day on the track. I got my sways from Gruppe-S, PM them for an awesome deal on the two bars together.

Get sway bars first because they make a bigger impact on handling than springs.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

For those with 27-29mm fronts, they weren't too hardcore? I'm just afraid of it being TOO much for daily driving.

It is fine for a daily driver. Go ahead and get them already.

You will have no regrets.

i did springs then sways but that's me, if you're gonna go thru the trouble to remove your struts/springs to cut the bumpstops you might as well go ahead and get springs while you're at it, taking it all apart and getting it aligned several times could get old and expensive, so.... i'm gonna say springs first, even though the sways made a HUGE difference, i'd rather get the springs out of the way right off the bat, that's just me...
