S model owners with aftermarket suspension

Ive been thinking about getting an aftermarket suspension for my S sedan i feel that the suspension could be stiffer for better cornering capability, For those of you with aftermarket suspension what would you recommend that's sporty and not to stiff? ive been looking at hks hypermax iv gt.

I just put in Eibach Pro springs and Eibach front and rear sways and it made a huge difference without making the ride too harsh. Lowered it just enough and handles like a dream.

I would get Hotchkis sway bars and KWv3's, then GT spec braces if that's not enough for you

Don't do just springs ... they just kill the ride quality. I would go with coilovers. More experience but way better.

Coilovers and sway bars will be your best bet. KW (any variant) and Hotchkis sway bars.

I've replaced the OE S suspension. Eibach swaybars @10,000 miles, Koni Yellows and Swift springs @18,000 miles.

Great combination for a daily driver. If you dont need adjustable ride height, Konis are an quality alternative and you can get pretty close to the alignment specs without needing camber kits, and you dont need to worry about paying extra for corner balancing.

I've got KW V3's, cusco strut bar, and Hotchkis sways. Love the combo and is very nice when cornering, not too stiff in my opinion either.

Yep, KW V3 have been the best suspension I've ever used. The ease of adjustability is a plus too.
