Default Suspension Mod suggestions!??!

Hello I want my car to be a go-cart in terms of handling...hehe

Right now all i have are:

Billstein Sport Shocks, TRD FSTB and Tanabe DF10 springs. I stil feel body roll when taking corners fast...no duh.. right? I dont have too much to spend all at once so i will be doing it in stages.. which option would be best for me?

My budget is $1000 USD for one order...

Option 1:

TRD SWAYS
TOMS REAR UPPER STB
TOMS REAR LOWER BRACE

Option 2:

TRD SWAYS
TOMS FRONT LOWER BRACE
TOMS REAR LOWER BRACE

Option 3

TRD SWAYS
TOMS 6-link rear lower suspension
TOMS REAR LOWER BRACE

Option 4

TRD SWAYS
TOMS REAR UPPER STB
TOMS 6-link rear lower suspension

Option 5

OPEN to suggestions?

Thanks

The sways would probably take care of most of the body roll your're experiencing. If you want to complete the "box" go with the rear upper stb.

If you have money left over, I'd say maybe find an intake ecu or something.

If I had to pick, I'd do option 2. You already have the TRD front LCB so you just need to beef up the rear. The Tom's front would be nice but the TRD would do just fine. I had this bracing setup once and it handled nice.

Oops. I actually meant option 3. I guess we disagree. Haha.

I originally picked 2 until I reread the post and realized you already had the TRD front LCB. Since this is the case, I'd do 3 and the two Tom's rear pieces. I kind of wrote that but did not change the number.

nono.. i doot have the front LCB only the STB.. so option 2 will make the biggest difference you guys think?

will I be able to feel more improvements if i add the 6 links and the rear upper bar afterwards?

Oh, sorry. Then it is back to option 2.

And yes, you will feel more improvements in handling once you add the other parts. It won't be as night and day since you would have already put on some bracing. I have all of them and I love the change.
