Default 5th Gen Suspension Stuff?

Already got some Skunk2 Coilovers w/Tokico Illumina 5 way shocks. So far, its awesome!

Wut are my options on name brand front strut-tie bar, rear strut-tie bar, rear lower-tie bar, and front lower-tie bar (if any)?

Also, wut are my options for sway bars? And if u know how they fit, it would be greatly appreciated.

I heard 4th Gen Skunk2 rear lower-tie bar fits the 5th Gen. I know that part numbers differ but a local JDM garage says they've done quite a few already. I don't doubt the fitment but anyone know why Skunk2 decided to use different part numbers? I like the machined aluminum finish of their products. Not really a Skunk2 junky. Any option would hel p.

insofar as sway bars are concerned there aren't a lot of choices:

suspension techniques: i haven't heard anything bad about them and they are $230 for front and back. i believe they come in 25mm and 27mm.

neuspeed: the rear sway alone costs around 400-500 but apparently comes with upgraded mounts.

i'm going with the ST's as soon as i have the money.

Also, from what i can also tell, the jury's still out on the efficacy of STB's and whether they're purely cosmetic or placebo-like.

congrats on the coil overs, hopefully i'll have money saved up for my tein HA's soon...

I see that ur local. If u need Tein stuff, call RG-S Inc. and ask for Timmy. Say Steve from Autosound referred you. He's just starting his business so he tends to hook up people.
