Default 08 wrx suspension, what do u recommend?

i rang wheel world and they say:
*whiteline springs (40mm low) $675
*strut bar $200
*roll centre kit $300
*sway bars front $195 back $245 (asdjustable)
the guy said once lowered i should get the roll centre kit then sway bars then strut.
and
wilkinson
*king springs $538 (20-40 mm)
*$190 strut bar
*Sway front and rear $233 (each)

so i was lookin at gettin the whiteline springs with the roll centre kit for now then get sway and strut bars later on.
any advice would be great

I'm sure John would've given you the best advice in Perth. He's steering you down the bang-for-buck path. Best results early on and then you tweak it abit with each next item added.

I spoke to him yesterday about similar stuff, except I'm going coilovers cause the shocks are near rooted, yours are still brand new

for that price you may as well invest in coilovers.

Do the swaybars before the roll centre kit.

*strut bar $200
*roll centre kit $300

thats nearly 1200... without sway's

675 is a stupid amount of money for just springs these days...

I would spend the extra few hundred get coilies and sways, then if needed roll centre etc.
