Default ASR SUBFRAME VS LOWER TIE BAR?

Planning on improving my suspension come next week.

Was wondering if any of you had the ASR Subframe brace and swaybar combo and if that is better then getting a lower tie bar.

are ebay brand LCA's good?

are one piece coilovers really worth it or just buy new struts? and which brand should i get for decent adjustable ones?

any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

yes the subframe and sway bar are better.
NO ebay lcas sucks, you can get like skunk2s and stuff but if it isnt name brand walk away
i like my coliovers just cause i can raise and lower it when i want. so yes in my opinion they are worth it. tockico whites are great shocks for the money or go with the gc and koni combo

asr with a swaybar is better then the tie bar. you wont notice any difference with just a tiebar. as for the ebay lca's they are garbage

ebay control arms are garbage? I got my LCAs from ebay and theyre actually decent, i definitely didnt get the crappo 40 dollar ones though. but ive had mine for about 2 years and havent had one problem out of them at all, they havent bent or broke. I'm also runnin a tie bar right now and it sucks ***. get the ASR brace and an ITR sway bar. get one piece coilover system, brand is really up to you. GL

I had the tie bar, aside from looks it doesn't do much, though it does reduce chassey role, its barely noticeable. I got the asr sub frame and 22 mm sway bar, it was pricey, but it does help.
