in my oppinion the bars off ebay are better since they are adjsutable, allowing you to fine tune your suspension. if u really want something that will modify the way the car behaves get a rear lower tiebar. it will prevent the car from understeering. i have one on the stock height and it's a huge difference in the way the car behaves.

Adjustable as in....you can adjust the length of the bar to tighten or loosen it? I assume that you saw a huge difference for the better with the rear lower tiebar? Maybe I should invest in one of those before mucking with too many other things. Any good recommendations for a 6th gen?

well if u use the pro kit you are on the edge of needing one. for the rear you could always use washers to corect the camber. for the front you might need one. As for the ride height it does not matter the height of the car. All it matters is the geometry of the suspension. you could use 12" rims on the car right now withoiut affecting the camber, or use 22" the same way. all it matters is the geometry of the suspension.

If I need a camber kit, I need a camber kit, I'll do what it takes to get it right. My ride height concerns are more centered around the occasional speed bump monstrocity that I encounter. Most of the roads I ride on are pretty decently pothole free, the roads aren't great, but they aren't that bad either.

even if u are not concerned with performance i would still get 17". I don't know about the roads there, but with 17" you will have more rubber around the rim, acting like a cushion between a bump or pothole and the rim. You will protect the rims going 17"

I recognize that as an issue, but then I go back to the decent road conditions here. If I move, though, I may be looking at a different setup depending on the local conditions. With the 18" I'm slightly concerned about the possibility of scrubbing, but then again, my bro had 18" on his 5th gen with some coil-overs, wheels were tucked well up in fender well and he had full steering range with no scrubbing.
