Hey guys!
I've got an 03 P5 and I've decided to start going on some suspension upgrades for her. ( And I'd like some opinions from you guys) So she handles great right now but after reading some threads I've realized that there's some upgrade's out there that'll help me carve corners a little better. So my current setup is: completely stock suspension with 225/45/17 tires on RPM rims. Here's what it looks like:
First thing I want to do: upgrade the rear sway bar because I know the stock ones pretty skinny, I want to get the Progress 22mm one because I've heard its the beefiest one out there for a P5. I've heard some people say that if you bolt up an aftermarket sway bar to the stock sway bar mounting brackets they could break off because there pretty small. So should I do it? and maybe reinforce it? Are there better sway bars out there?

Next thing! I want to get Racing Beat springs, and my decision right now is to throw them on my stock struts because there not much of a drop in height and the stock struts should be able to handle it right? And I chose the RB springs because I personally hate the "slammed" look, so my main focus is on handling and I've heard things springs help. Should I run them on my stock struts?? Any other good springs with a minimal drop?
Or should I just get new struts while I'm at it? Everyone on here talk about getting Tokico HP's and how good they are but i cant find a decent price for them anywhere so I've looked into some other ones. Anyone running Stagg struts? I know there cheap but they have pretty good reviews, any other struts for a fair price?
Any other suspension mods I'm missing? Give me you opinions!
Thanks! (wiggle)
