I want my suspension to be very tight. I just put on new shocks/struts and it has made a tremendous difference. But while I was under the car I noticed that my sway bar bushings were practically falling apart! So I know that my sway bar isn't doing much. But I have big plans for my car this summer. They include new polygraphite bushings all around. 17" wheels. I'm thinking about lowering it 1-1.5". And getting some SFC's and a STB. I'm sure that after this is all done my car will ride about a 1000% better. I was wondering if theres anything else I should do to tighten up my suspension. Would new LCA's help, or are they mostly for drag racing. I also might get a new panhard bar. I'm not going to auto-x my car, but I do want to be able to take 25 mph corners at 50 Any comments/suggestions please feel free to talk.

Aftermarket lower trailing arms and panhard rod with poly bushings, poly bushings for the sway bar mounts and end links, poly tranny and torque arm bushings, sub-frame connectors, new steering parts up front (inner/outer tie rod ends, center link, and idler arm), and maybe even poly front lower control arm bushings and new ball joints will make a world of a difference in how your car handles. Trust me, I've done all of this (except I have the Global West lower trailing arms with the spherical bearings on one side) and my IROC handles -very- well. With 245/45R16 g-Force T/A R1's, it went exactly where I pointed it and I couldn't get the tires to slide regardless of how hard I pushed the car through turns, both on a road-race course and an auto-x course.

You might consider a 1LE/WS6 type sway combo, or an aftermarket version.

Just like to add, aftermarket drop springs and big sway bars.
