Just like the title says, list up your suspension/handling mods.
Mine listed in order of install:
BMR Strut Tower Brace
BMR boxed weld in sub-frame connectors
BMR boxed lower control arms
BMR relocation brackets for the lower control arms
BMR chromoly adjustable panhard bar
BMR lowering springs
KYB adjustable shocks(fixing to bite the dust)
BMR drive shaft safety loop
BMR upper panhard relocation kit
Cross-drilled & slotted rotors
BMR adjustable torque arm(awaiting install)
Best mod listed above IMO is the sub-frame connectors and the worst is the KYBs. I am going to be replacing the rear KYBs for Koni SA ASAP.

how much do swaybars improve handling? is the change as noticeable as shocks and springs?

OMG YES! it's less body twist and very attentive when you turn the wheel. a great combo is stiff shocks and a beefy sway bar

why did you relocate your LCA's if you're running @ stock height???

SLP strut tower brace
SLP bolt-in SFC (i'll weld them someday)
Eibach Sportline springs (I threaded some HD hose onto "dead" coils to even out the wheel gap frt. to bk.)
Koni SA's (havn't checked what they're set at yet)
I bought the car with these chassis parts on it already,
the only thing I've done is the "hose on the coils".
I also need to get LC arms and relocation brackets... the instant center is waaay off.
