Went from 2.50-3.0 60s with a peg leg 2.73 and stock suspension to 2.0 with sig suspension. Cornering is much better too. Power oversteer is much more controllable and the car comes off of corners real hard.

Thanks for the replies! OK, so Im gettin KYB shocks(gas-a-just) and struts(GR-2) and the hotchkins rear control arms. How about new springs? I dont want my car to be too much lower though, maybe a half inch. Which springs do you guys recommend? I have to think that the stock ones are a little tired by now!
