Suspension upgrades ?

I plan to autocross my car again soon, and was just wondering, were the best places to buy suspension parts are, and what are the first things I should be replacing.


p.s. I tried linking to some of the sites under the mod page but most didn't work ? thanks for the help

completely stock

I haven't done a single thing to the car yet but I do have some 60/205/14 toyo proxies from my old crx still so I won't be needing tires anytime soon

Ok, so what class do you plan to run in? If your going to run stock, add a cat-back exhaust, some lightwieght wheels and better tires.

If STS (or other) is your game, Suspension, Suspension, Suspension. Struts, springs, sway bars, strut bars, bushings, etc.

All I was really looking for were a good rear sway bar (thicker) and strut tower bars and struts and springs. the tires are ra-1's and I don't know what class I'll be running in yet.
