Coilovers or sway bars
Ok I am going to do both in due time but which one should I do first. I know the coilovers would look great but I'm looking for performance, for right now. I did my first autocross in the car this past weekend. http://www.deanslist.us/article/20/n...utocross-times This is a crappy video of my first timed run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOcmqt0J9cM I have one of my third run from inside the car but I think that having the camera there made me push it too hard and I took out some cones. Anyway the car has stock suspension and it understeers big time. I am going to the track, and another autocross next month and will be upgrading one of the two suspension parts before the event. Oh and if I do the sways I will also put a tower bar.
Thanks

One of the biggest regrets i had was not waiting a little bit longer and getting a decent set of coilovers. (btw i have the tein basics)

Thanks for all the input. TT TRD sways or Daizen, which one is better for the SC? And I would like the tein flex coilovers. Which one would make the most noticable change in performance? My biggest problem as of now is understeer.

I dont have an SC300, but I had both TRD and daizen sways on my GS400. If anything, I liked the TRD better. Jumping from Daizen to TRD was like jumping from stock to Daizen. I bought the TRD first, and sold it to try out the Daizen since everyone was raving about them at the time. I regret switching. The daizen were suppose to ride smoother (less stiff), but I didn't really think the difference was that huge. But for turning and body roll, the TRD had the advantage.
Of course someone who had both TRD and Daizen on his/her SC300 might have different experience

Coilovers with dampening adjustment can correct this. Biasing the dampening stiffness to the rear of the vehicle can generate oversteer...so long as your tires are willing to come along for the ride. Even with my five-way adjustable Tokico shocks, I am able to tune my over/understeer pretty effectively.
I vote for coilovers because not only will you improve handling by dropping the center of gravity but you will also improve the look and overall attitude of the car. I acquired a new love for my SC from the day I installed the suspension.

TITAN ADJUSTABLE SWAY BARS.
Bushing sets for the control arms would help a lot too!
You would be able to maintain the stock ride quality with the improved handling.
By the way, get the EDFC if you are going to get the Tein Flex.
You would be very happy.
You also need to get the lowering compansation bushing kit when you do coil overs so your tires sit parallel to the surface.
