You're probably right and maybe I shall start just with some basic stuff, like shocks, leafs (in case I want to change the stance), sub-frame connectors maybe? (not sure if their impact vs price is important) and not sure about new sway bars.
I've been recommended also the quick ratio steering box.
Is the Delphi 600 the only model that would fit? or are there other options? from what I saw, this is relatively expensive as well. Good change vs stock? is the stock one too soft ? what ratio would you recommend?

Since apparently, and after all the customs paperwork, the car should be here at home within a week or two, I will probably wait a few days and drive it at least for a week to be familiar with it, then judge about the ride quality and try to define priorities accordingly.

Check what you have on the car you may have a decent steering box on it now. I do recommend the pinion geared Delphi 670 boxes in 12:1. They feel incredible.

im not sure what restrictions you have as far as what you can install on your car but the Hotchis subframe connectors work pretty good. Im a fan of the DSE version.


maybe this will change your mind about the drop
