pros: car feels better (less body roll), car looks better

cons: cost, car potentially handles worse if you pick dumb parts (ie H&R race springs on stock dampers.. Tein S-tech springs), you prob weren't maxing out your stock car in the first place so you would have gotten more actual performance out of better tires, apparently weight transfer happens faster so you get less time to figure it out and its harder to learn

again IMHO, wrap the OE wheels in some stickies, get a performance alignment and maybe get a larger OE rear sway bar if available and call it a day until you have enough seat time / tech knowledge to pick parts yourself without asking the interweb

I know seat time is a big thing, as far as tires go I'm going to keep the stock tires on the car until they wear out (by next summer). I have already put on 4'000km in the first month I had the car.
As far as a rear swaybar I was thinking of the 22mm Progress swaybar but I don't know if it will fit my car. I talked to the guys at Focusport and the H&R sway bars fit the 08 so I assume the other will too. :blink:

I have pushed the car on some familiar back roads and I hate how much body roll there is especially in the rear end, so maybe a swaybar would be a good starting point.
