Hey guys, so I'm looking at buying suspension upgrades from Racingline, but I want to know if the handling is significantly better with them on. Will I actually feel an improvement? And which ones improve the most? RSB, STB, or endlinks?

I noticed a difference with my sway bar AFTER I installed endlinks and used the stiffer setting. I wasn't going to tempt fate and put it on the stiffer setting with stock endlinks. My suggestion is if you go with the sway bar, get the endlinks with it. It makes a world of difference with cornering. But it all comes down to how your driving I guess. If you don't dive into corners imagining curbs as the apex (like I do :bigthumb:), then you may not notice a thing.

Each one of the mods you listed will give you better handling. I've got all 3 installed (except my sway bar is from stillen). I started with the sway bar and felt a reduction in the fish tailing effect. Then I got the end links and that made a difference. The strut tower brace was the last to get bolted on. It's given me the least impressions. The front feels tighter, but not too noticeable. I'd recommend all 3 mods.

I have got the racingline strut brace and the stillen RSB. I don't have the end links. The rear sway bar gave the most improvment in handeling.

I have every suspension mod offered by Racing Line including their new springs (I was a tester), it's a huge difference IMO. Just got my new tires put in yesterday as well, Havent tested them yet but god do I love how it feels so far. Racing Line mods are great, theyr strong, well made, and actually do what they are designed for!

save up for coils its worth it and you can always raise it in the winter if needed plus you can go lower then springs and the handling is better. It's a world of difference, just put aside a little each paycheck :dblthumb:

Alright thanks for the info guys. I'm probably going to just get the rear sway bar for now, maybe endlinks in the future.

As for lowering, not happening anytime soon. My driveway is super steep, and I sometimes scrape now at stock height :tisk:
