Default Seeking opinions...

What do you all think??? To reduce body roll and improve handling.(mostly street and highways) of my 05 S2k, I am considering one of the following:

1. F/R Cusco sway bars, Cusco Front tower strut bar, and Eibach Prokit(1" drop)with OEM shocks.
2. KW V3 Coilcovers only and NO sway nor strut bars, OR
3. Sway and Strut bars AND KW V3's?

What will be an optimal cost/benefit setup? Is option #3 an OVERKILL for my driving need? How much of an improvement do you think? 20, 30, 40% or more? Furthermore, If I were to go #1 route, do I need to re-align after dropping 1" on a OEM wheels? Thanks fellas...

KW V3's is your best bet. with stock tires you wont need sway bars and strut tower bars yield minimal gains in rigitity.

For just street and highway you'd be better off going with just the eibach's. No need to have adjustable coilovers when you're not going to be adjusting them.

Any time you make a change to the suspension, you'll need an alignment.

kw is ur best bet as stated by the other member above...

and u dont need to do alignment anytime you make adjustment on the kw coilover, unless you change the height..but if ur just changing the damping then theres no alignment needed...

good luck....
