Well i put coilovers on the car....along with some Tokico Illuminas 5w adjustables...and a Pilot Motorsport Strutbar(front).
Now what can I do more for the cornering abilities on the car? I am buyin a set of swaybars front and back..but after that..Is there any more I can do to keep the handling of the car to its best?
I also have 18s with 225-40 tires.It ahndles great right now and with the sw.bars it will be even better..but should I stop there or find something else to do and if so..what?
I am not sure I need anything elese since I am satisfied with the car but it will go to the tracks for some "STCC" driving so...want it to be the best when I go there:)

Bushings for the whole suspension. Past that, I dunno.

Has anyone done this? How is day to day driving? How did it improve handling? Worth it? not?

RRE and MachV both say it gives a BIG improvement in handling at a LITTLE sacrifice in ride quality. So they seem to think its well worth it. The only prob is it takes 5-8 hours to install them.OMG

Dont most of the bushings need to be pressed in? Has anyone here ever installed the whole set?

:confused: They are that involved to install?
 
Like I said before, vendors quote 5-8 hours of install because you have some bushings that won't come out. And its also a pain to press the others into place. So, yes, its that involved.
 
its basically the rear tenzo bar I was talking about only tanabe makes it...... but yes def get them they make such a huge diff you wont even belive it.

-You would need to drill and/or burn out the old one, or take the arms to the shop and have them be pressed out, you'll spend most of your time removing the old ones, the Energy Suspension bushings I have come is 2 pieces per bushing, just slice them in place. Feel less flex according to my butt-o-meter, but give up some in the comfort dept.
