Thoughts of my budget suspension build
Hey guys so i finally saved up enough cash to start modding my suspension and im trying to put together a little build to keep track of my progress...im asking for your opinions and advice as far as parts goes
so on to the list of parts:
1. tein s-techs- (owned)
2. Battle Version camber arms/ spc toe bolts - (owned)
3. stillen sway bars
4. Tokico d-specs or HPs - (need advice on this, cant decide lol)
5. whiteline bushings (traction arm, lower strut bushing, sway bar bushings)
6. tanabe lower H-brace
7. cut perches
I have an 04 base model Z with 107k on it so the suspension makeover is well overdue. Im riding on brand new 18x9.5 F and 18x10.5 R Falken FK452 tires so that part is covered. This is my DD but I really want to try some autox and some track days here and there once my suspension is complete....If you guys have any advice on the parts, on which I should buy first/last it would be really appreciated!

I've read a couple reviews on them and everyone who has used them seem to like them a lot. The Hotchkis kit is my other option but right now im leaning towards the Stillens

^^ alright yea i was thinking either sways or struts first. just because they're the most expensive on the list....i can just order the sways, compression rod bushings, and diff bushings all right now... those would be mods that complement each other pretty well i assume...
im just skeptical about riding on struts that have over 80k on them... they dont ride terrible (much better then the civic i was pushing way back when) but do you guys think it would be more beneficial to knock out the sways etc before struts?

Shocks, bushings and the perch cut will require an alignment. Make sure you get them as a package
