Hello
I would suggest looking into a set of SFC like you they will keep the vehicle solid. And then a set of sway bars and a good set of springs or shocks. And when you are looking for better traction then look into an adjustable torque arm and a LCA's and relocation brackets. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks

Step 1: get Konis
Step 2: consider lower front perch/hose mod
Step 3: consider lowering springs
Step 4: SFCs, sway bars, LCA relocation brackets, adjustable PHB after that.

first thing you will hear is that konis cost too much. if cost is a big concern then stop after step 2.

I would definitely say subframe connectors before Konis.

Konis before anything. You will feel the difference with a quality damper; I've had SFCs on and off the car and can't tell any difference on or off.
