Dillema on what direction to take with suspension mods on a DC4
Just looking for a little bit of advice from the suspension guru's here.
I have a 95 teg, with the following suspension upgrades:
Eibach Pro Kit springs
Front upper strut bar (Generic brand)
DC Lower Tie bar
Stock shocks! With 160K on them! lol
Dunlop FM901 tires, with about 7K on them
16" rims
With the setup I have, its ok, but there's still quite a bit of bodyroll. I do a few canyon runs with some pretty fast cars that my buddies own (M3, Cadillac CTS-V, IS300, G35, etc) and I'm able to hang with them even being so underpowered and front wheel drive (I race italian pocketbikes competetively, so I know somewhat about taking clean lines, late braking, double clutching, etc).
With the suspension mods that I have, I'm able to drive the car daily. I drive 110 miles a day, to and from work, M-Fri. My goals is to have a daily driven car, but with the ability to take it to a track or canyon run, and be able to adjust the suspension accordingly.
I just save up around 900, so that leaves me with a few choices.
1. GC/Koni Yellow setup - Price $775 shipped from NoLimit. I've been in my friends GSR with this spring/shock kit, and it felt very comfortable. A little stiffer than the pro kits, but still comfortable enough to daily drive.
2. Koni Yellow ($460 shipped from NoLimit) PLUS F/R ITR Sway Bars + ASR subframe kit ($340 from local seller). I was going to team up the koni's with my eibach pro kits.
Both options have their respective advantages, but I might be leaning towards option two, considering from what I've heard from other integra owners, that the ITR swaybars helps so much on handling. With option 2, I can save up for the GC springs if I still feel the need to adjust the height of the suspension.
What do you guys think?

Get the konis and rear ITR bar with subframe kit. Dont really need the front since there's only 1 mm difference of thickness between a normal integra and ITR front sway bar
