Suspension quandry??
I am in the dark regarding suspension parts like sway bars, drop links, anti-lift, strut braces, bushes etc the list appears endless!
What & where does one begin??
Is there a particular order of fitting these parts if one has to order & fit at different times due to funds availability for example.
Do you begin with sway bars first then drop links or does it not matter which order they are fitted in terms of affecting the handling adversely?
What are your thoughts please?

What are you using the car for? Track, fast road etc?
The main and most popular upgrades are: -
Solid front and rear drop links
Front and rear ARB's
Fully adjustable coilovers
Anti lift kit
Once the above are fitted it's finished off with a full Geo set up.
Without sounding patronising your car already has ARB's and drop links. But provinding you choose the right company the upgraded parts are far superior.
If you want to do it bit by bit i'd suggest speaking to chris at CDF. He's currently doing a group buy on solid drop links and ALK. You can fit these parts straight away or stock pile them.
CDF are also creating their own ARB's which i'm currently waiting for.
Hope this helps

A well known company are charging well over £200 for front and rear solid (There are wire ones as well, be careful, they're not as good) drop links.
The anti lift kit is a little under £200. These parts rust within a couple of weeks. The rust doesn't affect the performance but it just doesn't look nice.
On the group buy you'll be paying £125 for front and rear solid drop links and £125 for the ALK. An absolute bargain, and they don't rust.

Hi there
Personally would go as per order:
1. Front ARB 22mm and Rear ARB 24mm,both if is possible adjustable
2. Front and rear droplinks(WhiteLine or CDF)
3. If you will go with Coilovers,would recommend WhiteLine Roll Centre Kit
4. Anti Lift Kit we have fitted,but no big difference before and after on the car,would say WhiteLine Roll Centre Kit/Bump steer Mod Kit will be better choice
Not at last Good wheel alignment can transform the car handling
