Getting adjustable top-mounts will mean pillowball joints, and that means your ride quality (comfort) will take a HUGE hit.

Spring/strut/topmount replacements, sway bars, and strut tower braces are all safe for street touring and street prepared, I believe.
Thanks for the Information. huge ride quality hit, means no safe for ST and SP sweet. bad for my dwindling savings.

And don't the STIs already come with teh group N tops?...

As I understand, the legal ALK bushing is a pain in the ass and probably not worth the effort. If money is no object, go for it, but a sway bar would probably have more effect.
hmmf. i'll have to search more, if they come with groupN's then i'll stay with those, if not .. i'll buy some group Ns

okay i'm gonna skip the ALK bushing.

since Eibach makes the Prodrive spring to prodrives spec (and its fairly cheap, i think $265 ish ) i think i'll go with them. camber bolts 70 ish,
alignment (100 to 200 if i have them do the camber bolts)

Whiteline makes some cheap strut tower braces (since stock there is none this should be an upgrade ) ? think i'de be looking at about 1200 ish for springs, sways, strut towers, camber bolts, and an alignment afterwords. (and that's going with 150 ish strut towers and sways) then maybe 300 ish towards some sorta driving school ?

how much is any sort of performance driving class ? way more then mods ?
