First start with the Neuspeed 19mm rear sway. If you go with the larger one, you'll have to change the front sway as well. Just the 19 will make the car nearly neutral in the corners.

Secondly, go with a set of Coilovers - Koni, Bilstien, Statis, etc. instead of just springs. If you have many miles on the car, the stock shocks and struts need to be replaced anyway and for a few extra bucks the coilovers give you the best options. If you lower more than 3/4" you will need a minimum of a 1/2 KMAC or Forge arms.

I hope they are good also, relatively cheap and from a good dealer. Fingers crossed.

I had FK coilovers on my TT and currntly have KW Variant 2's. The KW's are superior to the FKs in terms of ride quality and adjustments. The KW'sgive you the ability to adjust the ride height from 1/2" drop to about a 2" drop. I had mine set at 3/4" drop front and rear.

BTW, I traded my TTand plan on selling the KW Variant 2 coilovers. They have approximately 8,000 miles on them.
