For street cars, the consensus is generally Bilstein PSS9's, GT3 sway bars, whatever brand drop links (I use Agency Power), and there are literally dozens of wheel companies on here. I went with Cargraphic, but there are plenty of other good ones too.

What DD said. And bigger wheels are not a performance enhancement.

I've got a front H&R sway on a UPS truck right now and a GT3 sway in the rear. It seems the benefit it that the GT3 bar is adjustable and the H&R doesn't use drop links. There's some debate on drop links (again search) and how effective they are. It makes sense to me to decrease the amount of "moving parts" when it comes to multiple directional forces.

Are the H&R's not adjustable at all?
