Help me put everything together!

Ok i want my car to handel very good! I want it to go around turns like it never has. I want to do all of it at once pretty much.
So heres what i thought of.
  • Springs
  • Shocks
  • sway bar kit
  • wonder bar
  • tires
  1. Ok the springs i think i would like to drop it no lower than an inch.
  2. The shocks i want to get one of the best.
  3. Sway bar kit i dont know tell me the one the best.
  4. Wonder bar i seen them on ebay.
  5. Then tires i am thinking of radial TA's but i dont know what they are rated to. Then the crapy tires right now i have are 235/60/15 and when i go around a turn to fast you can fell them buckle. So i want a tire rated around 150 mph then that will help me wip around a turn.
Thanks
kevin

Re: Help me put everything together!

I would suggest getting the Eibach Pro-Kit (drops 1in. front and rear) and the Koni Yellows from shox.com. The seem to have the best deal if you buy thier package deal. For sway bars, just get a 36mm hollow front bar and a 22mm solid rear bar. They are factory pieces so they are a lot cheaper than aftermarket and they are readily available. I say 22mm for the rear and not the 24 because the 24 makes the back a little loose. For t3he3 wonderbar, once again, just get a factory piece. They are plenty strong enough, readiliy available and a lot cheaper than a aftermarket part. I'm not very good in the tire department. Someone else will have to chime in here. I plan on getting a set of BFG G-Force tires for my 16" IROC wheels but I don't know what would be best for your 15" wheels.

PS - Have you considered changing for stock worn out rubber bushings for some Poly bushings? That alone will amke a big differance.
