I wana change the suspension and improve handling on the Legend, so I figured I'd jus ask the questions. Any and all opinions are welcome, so here goes...

1)I wana do mls copy strut bar, and i wana know is there mls rear sway bar or something equivalent.

2)I wana do coilovers too, something like Tein basic coilovers

3)Stainless steel brake lines, found some on ebay for $65

4)rotors, pads, calipers (if needed) found rotors on ebay for drilled/slotted $89 for set of 4. i think my calipers are good, haven't driven the car in a while needa check. prob just paint em.

my real question is, what brands (other than oem) should I go with. I'm not tryin to get the highest name brand honestly. i know cheapest isn't always best, but i know also that the most expensive isn't always best either. i appreciate any input.

also wonderin if I could get a Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust modified to fit our cars?

1. go addco they have rear, mls I believe so also
2.koni/eibach
3.sounds good, improve that slushyness.
4. really good deal there. but if you can check the hardness rating and how much heat they can take. what company are they by? don't want them warping on you.

I like the sound of what your doing.

1) Addco is the maker of out rear sway bars, MLS as far as i know dont make them.

2)i think that you'll find that the Ksports are a bit more tailored to the legend

3)go with a brand name SS lines... like Russell $90 on summit racing

4)alot of people will have their preferences with rotors and especially pads.
but if you dont already switch to the type II calipers you can get them reman. at rockauto.com for pretty cheap

also there was a previous GB for a set of rotors and SS lines included, the company is still honoring the GB price.

5)tanabe makes universal mufflers now... its called the tuner medalion 60mm is what you're looking for... just get an adapter welded on and some hangers and you should be good to go.

the sound would be interesting to say the least. i think tanabe's belong on tuners but theres this sound clip of a TL on youtube with a tuner medalion
