I know, but it is nearly 2 grands worth.

Not to mention the time to drop that rear subframe...

We shall see, maybe i will go for it.
Start with the bushings. The Whiteline inserts are super easy to install, and still make a huge difference. If you want more aggressive, the M3 bushings are also great before you get into the poly bushings and solid bushings, but they're MUCH more of a pain to install (having the right tools helps a ton).

Then, I'd do sway bars (do the rear when you do the subframe bushings). You've got the suspension grossly tuned with coilovers, now you need to fine tune it with sway bars.

The last (I just did) thing I did was the LSD. It's not too noticeable in normal driving, but the dynamics of the car are very different in corners. I haven't taken it to the track yet with the new diff, but I should be able to get out again in three weeks.

About those seats...I have non-sport seats and still have fun. The seatbelt lock trick really helps.
Seatbelt lock trick?
