    Increased spring rates, a lower stance, and stiffer rear swaybar will get you into the fun cheap and quick. I dare say just a stiffer rear sway alone would be a worthy upgrade. I wasted many bones on a HKS Hipermax RS coilover set for my car. These were the 1st versions with weak spring rates and the front endlink brackets won't even fit. About to put my Hotchkis springs back in with some Tokico or KB struts.

    I'm really debating right now on a strut/spring/r sway combo, which means i'm always low enough to drag the a$$ end but is really cost effective, or tein or the ones meng is supporting so that I can lower it at the track for a super low stance and then raise it to safe new england heights so I can drive home with no worries. I've got some questions that dig deeper into this but I'll post those in the appropriate thread.

    They make a bearing shim kit that goes between the spring and the lower seat that helps make track adjustments easier. Trust me, there ain't much room in the rear to adjust ride height with the car on a floor jack like you would be doing at the track or your driveway. Similar to these; QA-1 Coil-Over Thrust Bearing Kit

    There is also this neat setup from KW Suspension in Germany; KW hydraulic lift system /// KW HLS helps lowered vehicles with low ground clearance to clear obstacles
