Look at tsp they have coilover and sway bar packages. I picked the aldan american coilovers with progress front and rear sway bars and steinjager endlinks for the front and rear. Easy install and the upgrade has been a night and day difference if you ask me. Should have done it a long time ago. But if you are only looking to drop 1k then go coilovers.

First stop coilovers since you already have fair bars. Then the bars.

Both are good and don't require a specific order of modding. But you'll get more right now out of the coilovers and being ride of the oem leafs.

Great experience on the daily has been: RideTech HQ, C5Z bars with oem metal links and that was a lot of fun as it was.

The new ride is being set up with: RideTech HQ, Progress, Whiteline, Borg, X-tracker combo here with FDF rear offset toe and mini-mantis up front.
