Default Suspension Makover!

Currently: 2001 Mk1 225hp w/ Koni Sports around, ~100k miles, front end is sloppy and my ride is daily driver/track.

I am definitely doing strut mounts, Defcon 1 front bushings and front sway bar (current bushings shot) to improve balance.

Going further, I'm leaning to($455 tire rack) Eibach Pro Plus springs/sway bars around (rear 1/2 camber correction), front ball joints and tie rod ends.

*** Any suggestions for or against? ***

Any recommendation on best place to buy these goodies?

Oh... and any suggestions for upgrading rear suspension (bushings, etc.) I haven't seen many postings about the rear.

seems like a lot of work,
I got the TT with the H&R coil overs..then added the adjustable rear control arms -upper and lower- because rear wheels had a lot of negative camber, i did not like how it looked. -camber kits seemed dificult to be isntall by me-

after a couple of auto x solo events, i decided to get the DEFCON 1 and 19mm rear sway bar the car has to mutch understeer... they say these 2 things will fix that...

I have never heard the need to do the front sway bar.
