Default Need Some Advice

I am looking for some suspension upgrades for my 2003 accent GS. I have been autocrossing it stock and would like to really see what i can do with a bit better grip and a stiffer car. Now i have been looking around at all these spring kits and coil overs etc.

If you guys could give me a recommendation on what i should go with or what brands are good for what i am looking for

My main idea would be a drop/better struts/subframe braces/ strut tower braces and if possible a rear tower brace. and maybe even a shifter kit..

any help would be awesome..
Thanks
Paul

is a comfortable ride important to you? if not get some Ksport full coilovers along with whiteline front and rear swaybars and front and rear strut braces.

What class would you like to run in?

What tires are you currently running? R-comps will give you more grip and you could stay in stock.

If you want to leave stock, the K-Sports are really the best deal going. You can stay on a street tire (a real street tire, like the RT615) then and run in STS, or move off to FSP.

Tires are way more important than suspension, in my opinion.

k-sport all the way... I ran those but spent an extra 80 bucks for some 3kg springs. the come with 7kg front and 5kg rear so I swapped the 5kg ones to the front and used the 3kg to rear and it was amazing and very comfortable on the street. I also ran whiteline adjustable front and rear bars as well. don't know much about autocross and classifications though.
