What to upgrade first... Spring/shocks or Anti-Sway bars?

1st

What’s your budget and purpose?
If it’s just spirited driving here and there, looks and on a budget…..and I’m talking preference here because you will get every which way in the book to upgrade your suspension.
I say springs on stock shocks, camber bolts and sways. The end links on this car are fine personally…….

I second that.

what's is your purpose? Because none of that needs fixing until you are trying to drop your lap time. If you plan on tracking it, autoX, or canyon carve, upgrade the driver first then upgrade as necessary.. Tires are also a great upgrade rather than suspension parts too and much cheaper.

If you are going for the stupid camber/ Herra flush look no comment.

My purpose is mostly spirited driving here and there I just want the car to handle better than stock

Tough to beat sway bars bang for buck. Springs/coils can get as expensive as you want to spend. I would recommend doing one at a time so that you can feel the difference in what each thing does. For street only driving, I really liked the stillen set full stiff front and full soft rear. This setup ultimately did not work on track, but for spirited daily it is a great step up in overall "feel" of the car.

For coils/struts/springs do some research first.

Sways you can get and install for a few hundred bucks.

Also, do not throw your OEM rear bar away! You may want to revert to it later.

One thing that helped me when I first started learning about suspension was thinking about handling more objectively. When a person says handle better they could mean a few different things. Most likely they want to be able to go around corners faster, get better control of the vehicle, or want less body roll. Of those three things I listed, the first two are actually more affected by the tires.

Thinking about suspension and tuning objectively will help you get the maximum desired result without spending money and time on parts you don't need.
