New has little to do with it.... good valving does. I don't know what you have, it's not in your sig.

Shocks first. DeCarbons suck. Beyond that, it depends on what you want to change about the car. I'll disagree that PHB and SFC's are even near the very top of the list.

IMHO shocks are the first thing, then properly sized sway bar(s), then springs, then a PHB, then you get into things like *maybe* SFC's.

I don't know what you want to change about the way the car drives. And without that, I can't really help you much. This is why I want to talk to my customers on the phone vs. e-mail.

Stocks shocks aren't very good, new or otherwise. As far as I'm concerned good shocks are the biggest thing you can do to help. Swaybars are next, then springs, PHB, and so on.
