1) tires
2) springs and shocks (koni/gc is a popular choice)
3) bushings (hugely debated piece but still something that needs to be addressed)
4) bars ( sways mostly )

Most of those LCAs aren't really impressive. The SK2 is a decent one... the Mfactorys are a very nice piece, but the rest fail to impress me.

I just got all of my parts for my "EF". Mine is a daily driver so I wanted something comfortable, mild, and overall- inexpensive. I got a set of S-tech Teins and some stock replacement KYB Gr2s. I'll need to replace the A arm balljoints while I'm in there and add a camberkit and do the washer trick. I have a CRX rear swaybar to throw on for the heck of it. Getting rid of the 19 year old suspension FTW! Later I'll put on some low rolling resistance Sumitomo HR200 tires. I'm reaching the high 30s to 40 MPG right now. It's an MPG toy right now.

My other car "EK" is pretty much set up how I want already. 5 lug ITR conversion w/ rear disks, ITR booster and MC, KYB AGX shocks on Ground Control coilovers (original rates), Front Si crossmember w/LCAs and 26mm Si front sway bar, SRR purple rear LCAs, ASR subframe brace, 22mm ITR rear swaybar, Ingalls camber kits, DC sports front and rear tower bars. The tower bars would be upgraded if I had some extra money. I'd go with the PasswordJDM 3/4 point bars. I think it rides great.... but the wife doesn't enjoy the bumps lol.
