Well, we could always bother a mod to split the thread if that's possible.
I'd shy away from running a more aggressive pad in the rear than in the front, but I know nothing about EBC pads... The KYB GR2s (the non-adjustable strut they make) frankly suck. I mean they'll do something, but after switching from those to Koni Yellows I wouldn't touch them again. Get a set of THESE for more camber (and still stock-class legal). and a big front swaybar of some type is preferable. If your wheels are not OEM make sure they're the same size/offset (within 5mm offset or something like that). 'Hope that helps.
So, upgrading the front sway bar is legal for stock? I like the koni stuff just a little to high dollar would like something better than factory but at a somewhat reasonable price. Unless you know of somewhere I could get a pretty decent price on koni stuff.

You can get Konis for ~$600 from NOPI no place else is going to touch their prices.
If you don't want to swing for those, you can also get Tokicos (next best adjustable) or KYB's AGX adjustable (Still ok for getting started and still way better than GR2) for a bit less from the same place.
Yes, in stock class you can change out the front bar only. Make sure you get the reinforcing plates for the mounting points if the bar your order doesn't come with them...
Any idea of what model # the tokicos would be? I dont want to get the wrong thing then end up is some kind of modified class. Yeah I knew about the reinforcing plates but thanks for the heads up.

NOPI sells them on an application-specific basis (part numbers are on the page):
The Illuminas on that page are stock-class legal single-adjustable strut inserts. (you can use anything up to a double-adjustable unit in stock class).
I would get a ST bar for the front and yes I have a extra one! I would be glad to help you out and sell it for $100.00 and that's a great price. This is one of the newer ones that is green in color.
That sounds good on the st swaybar does it also come with the hardware ie. retaining brackets\bushings or endlinks? Could you meet me somewhere or ship it?
Tokico adjust both bump and rebound when hou twist the knnob. You don't want that for bst performance. Koni ssingle or double adjust are the best bang for the buck. Actualy, having drriven roberts mr2, it and tne figuring out how to drve it is a veery good bang for buck.
