Re: Suspension help

First step,sub-frame connectors. They stiffen up the chassis and are the baseline to start with. Then you need to see what condition your front and rear suspension are in.Check suspension forumn search for shock,lower control arms, bushings, and other upgrades. Also larger front and rear sway bars if your car does not have them. Again, use the search. Much info.Badman

Re: Suspension help

If you get the WS6 sway bars, that would be a good upgrade. I have the WS6 bar on the front of my car, and I really like it.

Also, you will want to get some aftermarket shocks. Personally, I think a GOOD set of shocks will help more than replacing the springs and installing all the bars you can throw at it.

First thing to do, though, is like BADMAN said, get SFCs then check and replace the bushings and things in the front steering and suspesnion. The rears can be replaced with the aftermarket bars and stuff.

I hope that my lack of order in this post didn't mess you up, lol. It did me.

Re: Suspension help

As long as they are both 3rd gens, all parts will swap.
