Default Installed Koni/GC today, what next? Suggestions!?

Finally installed my Koni Yellows/GC's today, should I install a camber kit, strut bars, or tie bars?

I'm looking to eliminate chassis flex and improve handling/ride quality, what should I go with; looking to go a little bit lower that's why? The wheels are butterflying and the coilovers are only dropped halfway, will post pics.

Thanks in advance!

Before -


After -


Front Tire -


Rear Tire - Minor Tucking

Well depends on what you are doing with the car. All three will improve the handling of the car. Just depends on how much you're going to spend right now. If it were my car I would just drop the little extra money and do it right.

the cars height changed dramatically. nice choice. u can def tuck tires with this set up it seems to be the most popular choice if ur going to slam ur car.

Well I have some spare money due to a bonus from the government, so I've got some $$$ to play with. The car will be used for occasional drag runs on the weekend after I get a motor in the summer but this is also my daily driver. So, what would be the first thing to put on the car out of the three that I mentioned because I want to eventually install all of them.

Get sway bars.
Tie bars,strut bars, are not worth it. They are barely noticed compared to sway bars.

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like I'll score the cambers first and look into getting sway bars. Another question, should I get camber for both front and rear? Specific brand I should go with?

I apologize if these are noob questions, this is my first project and want to start in the right direction.

Shoots!
