Just came to my attention that I ordered my supercharger and all but i have all these power upgrades and no suspension. Im gonna slip like crazy!!! How much you think a good set of springs, and front and rear sway bars will help me?

do it right and go coilovers
coilovers= good drop with adjustability
springs= ghetto drop

Not really. I'd love to know how you came to those conslusions. For a street car coilovers are not necessary. There are PLENTY of lowering springs that lower the car 1" - 1.5", are progressively wound to maintain good ride quality, and have moderate spring rates for the street. A set of Eibach Pro-Kits and some KYB GR2, AGX, or Koni Yellows would suit his car fine.

As for traction, stickier tires will make more of a difference than new suspension.

But it is alot more difficult to find a really good strut/spring combination for every car.

In my opinion, I'd go coilovers becasue apart from good performance you get alot more adjustability. But if you find the right combination of struts and springs they can be just as good and will cost less. But I've also seen people keep buying springs because they weren't happy to the point that it would have been cheaper to buy coilovers.

that thing comes with tokicos from the factory right? Do a Eibach drop with Tokico illuminas. I used a ground control coil over kit (eibachs) with my probe with tokicos and loved it. I plan on putting a set of eibachs or tiens on my 240 now with some illuminas when i get the cash.
