TRD Rear Sway Bar, Whiteline Front Sway Bar, Tein S Tech Springs and KYB GR2 Struts

Even though the KYB are supposed to be OEM replacement ( softer ) my car still handles like a champ. Anything beyond these four products are more suited for track use ( coilover suspension, 4 point braces etc etc )

Thanks for the suggestions Chunkz especially about the struts. (are shocks and struts the same thing?) I do want to improve handling but I would like to still keep the ride as comfortable as I can.

I ordered the K&N filter, still looking for a place to get the sway bar. Hopefully will get the car some place next weekend to have the brakes looked at and get new rotors probably. I looked at some pictures of various members rides on here and am on the fence about getting new springs. I know lowering a car is desirable for handling, but I don't want to have to deal with any rubbing issues if it can be avoided.

shocks work with out any spring they are usually on trucks and struts are made to be used with the spring for a much better ride
