Question for suspension gurus on my next mod
OK, I have Tein CS, Daizen sways and the 18" wheels/tires listed in my sig. My next suspension mod is going to be a Tom's STB. I want to stay with Tom's suspension products, but my question is:
Which of the suspension components Tom's offers gives the best improvement after the STB? I have been reading past threads and checking out the pics (thanks LXOGOOD!) and am still not sure which of the remaining braces give the most "bang for the buck".
I would really be interested in personal experience from those who have these parts. Thanks!

The Tom's lower front brace made a big difference in my setup. I have commented in several past threads - do a search. [I'm holding my 7 month old daughter and trying to type -- it's very slow....]

Thanks,
Yes, I have searched and found some good threads and helpful info-including yours! I am thinking the front LCB and STB is the way to go, but I am open to suggestions and advice on this.

Tom's rear LCB is AWESOME. I also have Tom's rear STB and the combo is great.

Depends on how your car feels right now. If it is right, why add more? If it is not right and/or you want to add more, I always felt the GS has a jiggly rear end. With that, then I'd second bit's suggesion of the RLCB. But, I think you should also try to stiffen front and back equally. I'd put on the front AND rear LCB like rominl suggested.
As for staying with one make, that is a preference. I have the UGOs on top (f/r), Tom's in the bottom rear, the TRD in the bottom front and Daizens in the bottom "middle". So as you can see, I don't mind mixing and matching.
p.s. Since you also have Tein, if you ever might want to add the EDFC, you won't be able to do it with the Tom's STB.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Still researching and learning-so many different ways to go!
These TOM'S pieces are pricey, but sure are nice judging from the pics I've seen. I'm going to email Steve at Carson and see what kind of deal he can do for me...
