Yeah if it has stock shocks then get some good performance shocks. then a rear sway bar and subframe brace, light wheels, some sticky tires. and if the bushings or joints are bad change those and you should be good to go.

True. Technically he said suspension I think brakes should be first before anything.

really its just a daily driver that will handle a slightly fast corner. i mean it isnt really drove hard... slightly aggressive at times but nothing over-the-top. i was just wondering what else i should buy next. so def brakes then? to what exactly? i mean what should i do? i still have stock everything except the coilovers(meaning both pads AND rotors XD).

EDIT: i meant to say pads, rotors, and drums.

and do i need to do it all?

like change everything?
