have you figured anything out for suspension? replacing bushings does wonders, I have the solid ones in the front, worth the $50 each, and back went with rods and heim joints, bit pricy and a little on the rough ride side but corners really nice.

actually, the extent of my suspension work was when i installed new economy struts front and rear about 2 years(10,000 miles) ago. once i aquired the car i replaced the rack mounting bushings, front stabilizer link and bar bushings(both polyurethane,moog/energy suspension), and i replaced the lower control arm bushings. also did the rear sway bar link bushings. it still handles like poop. the car is in desperate need of stiffening up. i think i need to find some better springs. what solid bushings did you put in front. and please tell me more about what you did with the back. i cant find upgrade parts for the suspension. id love if you care share what youve done so i can follow suit. do you have any pics?
