Just replace all of your bushings and ball joints with oem parts, difference will be amazing.

Do you even know what needs to be replaced and what doesn't, or are you just going to replace things for the hell of replacing them?

coo coo thank you for the tip i have taken into consideration

well i know for a fact the suspension needs to be replaced cuz the previous owners didnt do there **** rite. and with time it started messin up. so to avoid further problems .. ive bin considering the tein flex type as i plan in the future to take ma car ocassionally to the auto cross and circuit track. so i wanna have those options.. but no im not replacing parts jst cuz.. i figured since its gonna be apart might as well replace everything else that needs to be replaced.

Koni yellows. Ground control shocks with autocross rates. Replace your bushings, preferably with the Energy master kit. Upgrade your sway bars. Get a rear chassis brace. From there, get upper and lower front and rear tie rods. If that still isn't stiff enough for you, look into a B pillar brace, and fender braces. That's your order of operations for suspension and handling upgrades.

thanks jst wat i was looking for is this kind of setup stupid expensive??

That all depends on how in-depth you decide to go with it. Koni/GC is extremely affordable, especially for what you get. Last I checked, the combination can be found for ~$600? The Energy Master Kit can be found for ~$100-$150. A good rear chassis brace might initially look expensive, but a good one is worth it if you plan on upgrading your sway bars. Sway bars can also be pricy. B pillar braces are pretty cheap. Fender braces are expensive, difficult to install, and definitely not for someone who only "occasionally" goes to the track.

For the bottom line, expect to drop about a grand and still have plenty of room for improvement.
