Shocks and Struts and Springs or Torque Arm
as you all know christmas is coming up soon and I believe i've convinced my parents to buy me front Koni Struts. Since there expensive i'm going to buy the rear shocks. And I decided that while everythings apart I am going to get springs also. I'm going to go with Moog Performance Replacement Springs.
My question is should I get the rear shocks and springs, or should I get a Spohn toqure arm??? I know the biggest problem with my handling right now is shocks and rear traction. My little 305 likes to make the back end a little squirly. So should I get the $415 torque arm while I have the cash or should I get the shocks and springs?

Shocks and springs to the 5th power.
The torque arm will help, but it won't do much if your shocks are shot and your springs are 17+ years old.

+1 for shocks and springs
I'm sure the torque arm will help, but the Koni's and new springs will truly be a night and day difference! At least they were on my car.
I'm trying to get my parents to give me the money for LS1 calipers and rotors for my brake upgrade in the spring.

Ok can i use Konis with Moog Springs with no problems? I heard you need to buy your springs and shocks as a group that are mnade for each other.

The KONIs will work with the Moogs. They are adjustable. The shocks with for certains springs are usually sold in sets.
