Default Best suspension mod to do (besides coilovers)

I was wondering what suspension mod (x-brace f/r, front strut bar, rear strut bar, front sway, back sway) you guys would do after coilovers to improve the handling of an ap2. I plan on getting suspension mods after i take a driving class and get more track time. any suggestions would be appreciated!

thanks!

Answer is nothing unless there is a specific problem you are trying to remedy. Seriously.

Go to your driving class, wring your car out on the track as much as you can and then come back with your complaints on how your particular driving style affected the handling of the car.

You'll establish the weakest link on the track....and it may not be the suspension at all. Fix whatever is f'd up and repeat. If nothing is f'd up, it's the nut behind the wheel that needs improving.

A heavy front sway bar has a big effect on the balance of the car, You will understeer with the stock tires however. Probally a good thing for many newb drivers on the road.

The strut bars don't do much of anything really.
