Default Which suspension part should I buy first?

The only suspension part I have now that's aftermarket is

Exact rear RCA
Megan toe arm
spc front camber kit
ksport coilovers

i was thinking about getting toms 6 link kit or rear trd sway bar.

What do you guys think? What suspension part I should buy first? What the best "bang for your buck"?

Many say that sway bars are the best bang for the buck because you can feel the difference the most. I say go for the TRD sways

Only the REAR TRD sway bar? Why not get the full set? Sways will definitley be my choice...you can feel the difference.

As for the 6-links...yah...ebay sets are exact copies of the real deal.

Because I won some money at the casino last week But not enough to get the whole set and just wanted to spend it on a suspension part.

So Ima get the trd sway bar next week. But Carson said I only need the bar and the bushing. Do I need to buy aftermarket sway bar links? Or is the stock ones ok?

Stock links are okay for now since you have stiffer coilovers to reduce the loading on the bar. I would not recommend just the rear bar for those with stock suspension. Definitely go with sway bars though..I loved mine when I had them.

Ok thanks everyone.

Last question

Where's the best place to get it? Carson quoted me 269 plus shipping. Is this a good price?

Haha well maybe last couple of question.
