    Has anyone used the whole Cobb stage 2 suspension kit?
    Is it worth the $750?

    I would guess yes, it is worth it. Figure Whiteline Sways are about $200+ each, Lowering Springs are another $300, so you would get Rear Strut Tower Brace + Std. Rear Swaybar Mounts -or- Adj. Rear Swaybar Mounts for $50. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

    I would be interested to know the Spring Rates, and the Diameter of the sways.

    I have found almost all of cobbs things to be pricey. Although, the AP was well worth the money.

    ^^^Pretty much. Hotchkis is way overpriced as well. For better swaybars and cheapier the Whitelines are great.

    I have been thinking a lot about the overall balance of my car concerning suspension upgrades. When doing it peice by peice, its fun becasue you feel all the little differences, BUT you also run the risk of going to far one way before compensating. Like in my case I had upgrades RSB endlinks and strut bar, and stock front end, it made the car handle differently, but not in a balanced way as the back end was wayyyyy to stiff compared to the front.

    So my point is this: a complete staged kit may offer a better balanced solution for your car if you are concerned about tuning the supsension. I am just guessing that COBB put some money into R&D so they could pick the right parts for their kit to make a balanced product, I may be wrong.

    However this IMO is not as fun as figuring it out myself. And there is more than enough info on this site alone to help you pick out a balanced set of suspension bits.

    +1 for the Cobb sways and springs. Although a set of JDM SpecB Takeoffs RevA would be nice as well. Don't get the Cobb endlinks tho.
