finally able to update. i've had the sway bar on for awhile now and i LOVE it. yes the turning is much better and more predictable, but what impressed me the most was the stability in the strong kansas crosswinds and on highways. feels like a different car.

i would really like to do springs next. question tho. i'm really close to forty thousand miles on my car. is that too many miles on the stock struts to go with lower springs? i can't afford both right now.

I just got my TRD springs installed, help from barber, with stock shocks on. I have 70K+ right now, and the shocks are still good........

Try getting something with mild drop, 1.2' around.......shouldn't wear out the shocks too much.....

What you could do is get the springs install them and later when you have enough money get new shocks and struts, or buy the springs and wait till you have enough to buy the shocks then install its really up to you, but I would wait till I have them all (less work) holla my dude and good luck.
