Default Improving suspension

So far i have full coilovers but want to take it a step further. i also have a c-pillar bar and fron strut bar. thats about it. i was wondering what would be the most effective in terms of control arms, camber kits, sway bars, etc. where would you see the most difference?

i believe those are 10k front, 6k rear?

that will give you some MASSIVE understeer! i have 450F/380R and i have bad over steer as it is. i'd suggest an ASR subframe brace, and atleast an ITR swaybar, but something bigger might do you more justice.

#1 handling mod you can do is tires.

pick up some sway bars and it would be the best way to improve your handling.
