Sway Bars or Koni Yellows?

gomer_110 · 04-29-2012, 09:12 PM

In the end I plan on doing both sway bars and a set of Koni Yellows. Problem is I can't afford to do both at the same time. Any suggestions as to which one to do first? The goal is to get a more behaved car on the Autocross course.

Didn't really plan on doing springs at this point. Also because of my crappy driveway just about any drop will be a problem.

the sway bars' objective is to reduce sway (body roll), and stabilise the vehicle under lateral/cornering forces. for the money, the sways will be the better bang for the buck mod to improve handling.

Like people above said, sways will be a better bet, plus cheaper 350-450 vs 1000.
