Im in a band DO ME!!!!!
ok so i wanna start building a pretty solid (but streetable) suspension. Im lookin at RLCAs, Subframes, sway bars, coilovers, everything. Im wanting something that will be solid at the track, and streetable, so nothing over aggresive just yet. Websites, brands, and just a general opinion on what is good.....also, nothing terribly expensive, im lookin for good brands....but i dont need coilovers that cost as much as my car. :lol:

My recommendation:

RLCAs - Function 7
Rear subframe reinforcement brace - ASR
Rear sway bar - ASR
Front sway bar - ITR

For the coilovers, do you want non-adjustable or adjustable dampening?

Are you planning to get a front/rear strut bar, b-pillar, or c-pillar bar? How about lower arm bars?

i got a miracle x-brace for the rear already, gonna probably get a benen 3pt strut bar for the front.....adjustable dampening is cool, but not a necessity. I know its good to have to adjust stiffness and what not, but the more adjustability the higher the price. So i leave that up to personal preference on my half. Another question, what is a good size sway bar to run....i know the ITR is what, like a 19mm??? what size would be suitable for what i am wanting???

Coilovers are going to depend very heavily upon your budget.

I would step up to something bigger than an ITR rear bar for autoX. Progress has an adjustable 24mm rear bar for a fair price.

I wouldn't worry so much about LCA's. Get adjustable upper control arms first. They are more functional, they do more than sit there and look pretty. The superior adjustability of something like the Progress rear sway bar will eliminate the need for the different LCA sway bar mounting holes.

Since you're saying that you don't need adjustabilty, then I recommend the Omni-Power Sport full coilovers. I believe the spring rates are 12K-front and 10K-rear. That should be perfect for auto-x. Which sway bar are you talking about? If you're talking about the rear, then 24mm should be just fine. The ASR is 24mm and adjustable.

Im goin more for auto x rather than road course....if that makes any difference......
The suggestions Kyle and I are saying suitable for auto-x.

Why go with Benen for the front strut tower bar and lower arm bar?

Exactly how I did it. Rear first, then the front.
