What are some upgrades I should consider (shocks, springs, sway bars, turbo tie rods, etc. ?) and in what order ? what is the best bang for the buck?
My car currently has 195/65/15 tires, stock springs, shocks, and front sway bar. thanks, Levon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I just got a full set of bilsteins from pelican. I will install this weekend (hopefully) and then get it aligned and let you guys know how they are. I hear 'get the konis ' so often, but i've had friends' konis fail for no raisin so many times that i just stay away. I had bilsteins on my miata and they were wonderful. he said spirited driving, not 'track adjusting/endless tweaking'

I will probably go with them on my teener also. What springs work well with the bilsteins and what weight ? How are H&R progressive rate springs ? |
