Well right now I'm riding on H&Rs and illuminas but I'm looking to spend a bit more on my suspension. My question is which component will make the biggest difference in terms of front upper strut bar, front lower strut, rear strut bars, tie bars etc? if possible please let me know what brands you guys are using.
thanks

sway bars are the best bang for the buck

grund control and cusco make some good ones

I would say go in this order:

springs/shocks or coilovers
wheels/tires (HUGE difference depending on quality of tires)
sway bars
all the bushings
strut bars
traction rods
tie bars

Energy Suspension's bushing kit makes a huge difference

Hell, if you're riding around on 10-12 year old stocks, even new OEM rubber ones will feel a hundred times better.

the es master bushing kit is a great bang for yo buck mod. it really makes your car more responsive and nimble. mine is so fun to toss around.

if you're fighting understeer, a rear anti-sway bar is what you need. comptech makes a great one, and the ITR bar works well also.

Don't really worry about those. They help but not as much as you'd hope. Invest in some grippy tires. Tires play a key factor in grip for obvious reasons. Then look into anti-sway bars. For my EJ8, I use the stock front piece (22mm) and run a Progress 22mm in the rear. Very fun setup. The rear end can and will step out (and it has), but it's fairly catchable. My NT-450s are definitely holding the grip level back, though.

i agree , tires and sway bars . also spring rates play a key roll
