You already do have a great handling car. In order to determine what "mod's" you may want depend on driving experience and what you plan to use your car for, track, autox...

The S is a very capable car and will out handle a lot of cars bone stock. If you go off and buy a bunch of after market parts for the suspension and don't know how to adjust it you'll could screw up the handling more than help it.

Just my $0.02.

Spend the $3K on racing school. And dump the buddy clubs, go back to stock.

The stock suspension sucks.

Stick with the Buddy Clubs, but do yourself a favor and have someone who knows what they're doing fine tune them for you. Also, consider a more aggressive than stock alignment and corner balancing.

I think we can now comfortably say that this thread is in the wrong forum.
