your question is kind of vague. what you should get next depends on what you plan on doing with your car ie: daily driving, autocrossing, drag racing, etc. you basically have all the basics as far as suspension goes. maybe upgrade to some better tires or a sway a bar?

yeah, what kind of wheels/tires are you using?
that can affect your cars performance more than any suspension mod.

remember, the only part of your car that actually makes contact with the ground
are the tires.

But anyways,
get a rear strut bar, they're super cheap off ebay, and work fine.

a good set of swaybars will do wonders also.

that would also let you turn down your damping a bit, for a smoother ride,
then let the swaybars control your bodyroll.

I would have gotten a rear sway instead of tie bar first. But anyway get a rear swaybar, upper rear strut bar, and maybe a stiffer front strut bar.

get front and rear upper strut braces, not ebay ones! After that invest in a rear sway-bar and possibly a larger aftermarket front. Also invest in a front lower tie bar OR rear whichever you don't already have.

they are basically for bling, i think they have holes for aftermarket sways, but overall just for looks.
