Energy Suspension, makes a shit load of difference. How is your tire wear without CC plates on a lowered car? The best way to look at it is the packages that companies like Steeda(G-trac), Max. Mts(the starter box), and Saleen(the beginner kit). They sell those kits like that for a reason. Personally Ithink looking at the Steeda kits will give you the best idea because they break it up into steps. I stick by their quality products and they also have great customer service. Ialso hear the same about Maximum Motorsports but have no experience with them. Give Steeda a call and they'll tell you exactly what to do. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I have a set of MM CC Plates waiting to go, once i get my new tires mounted and balanced. Will sway bars help the body roll, i only ask because not too many people have aftermarket ones. Who makes a rear strut bar? and what lower and upper controls arms do you guys recommend?

Your next best bang for buck would be LCA's and a Panhard bar...MM have good products and their customer service is hella cool...
Sway bars are pretty good from the factory...The only thing you can really do is buy lighter and stronger tubular ones...If you put bigger sway bars on your car will understeer worse than it already does....
Dont buy Griggs, they have shitty customer care, ask 9Cobra8, whos on his 5th Griggs motor....

Agreed. MM has great stuff. For suspension, MM and Griggs are both good. But I, myself, won't buy Griggs because of the horror story that Matt(9Cobra8) is going through with getting a motor that works from Griggs(and more importantly how poor their customer service to him is).
