1993 NA

ST springs purchased in 2000. According to the ad, they lower the car 1.3". I'm not sure how much they lower a '93 and I'm not sure if these are the same as the springs that they still sell.

ST sway bars, 15/16" front and 7/8" rear

Tokico Illuminas

-2.5 degrees front camber
-2.0 degrees rear camber

Greddy rear upper strut tower brace
forgot the brand of the front brace

Enkei RPF1
front - 16x7 +30
rear - 16x8 +32

Toyo R888
225/45 & 245/45

Results:
When I first put these rear tires on I got some minor slices caused by the inner lip on the rear fenders. I had those lips ground off and the problem went away.

The car understeers during autoxing unless I set the front struts on the softest setting and the rear struts on the stiffest setting. I kinda regret getting such a heavy front bar but before I replace it with a smaller one I'm going to increase my negative camber in the front. My pyrometer says I need it. After that I'll reevaluate my front bar. I also have to consider the fact that the tight turns in autoxing have a greater tendency to induce understeer. The car doesn't understeer as much on the track or on the road.

Addco seems to be the choice for front bars.
ST front was fine on my 91, but even without your info I'd assume it would be a bit much on a 93.
