Suspension improvements at stock ride height

[SKurj]

In my case I went from oem suspension, directly to 17" wheels, 205/40 series tires, tokico blues, tein springs and the rr sway. If I was doing it again, I would do one at a time and see how the car reacts to the change. Because I did it all at once I couldn't put a finger on that which makes the most difference.
BUT.. I do swap out the wheels and tires for winter, so the difference there I can pinpoint.


The TRD axleback makes the car seem zippier! love mine. I had an AFE intake on it for a while but I had issues with it.. The car didn't like to slow down from highway speeds when I lifted off the throttle, not sure if it was just so much extra air or something but at times the revs did not want to come down. And the intake sound from that particular intake didn't do anything for me...

Ah, yes that would explain a lot. I did wheels/tires, lowered next and the sway bar last. All 2 weeks apart from each other and the sway bar I noticed a lot right away on the back roads here then on the highway with no squirrelly feeling any longer.

Sway bar first ...makes a huge improvement then lower last wheels , this way u spend from less to more ...my suggestion lower and sway bar at same time .
I did sway last but if i have know how much it makes a diff i would have done it first.
