Re: suspension upgrades

WS6 = better handling...
Stiffer Suspension = better handling...

If you want a cushy ride, you give up good handling. So, you hafta choose...Good handling or soft suspension. Can't have both in a 25 yr old technology suspension design.

Re: suspension upgrades

Well, you can, but it'll probably cost you as much per shock as you paid for the car.
If you stick with replacing the worn stock parts with quality replacement parts and stick on some high quality shocks, you'll re-gain if not improve your handling and the ride may or may not improve. I'd say it will have alot less float and have a much more controlled feel.
