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) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Koni Yellow, adjustable rear springs, maybe around 200lb, Front swaybar, then bigger torsion bars, then do all bushings (elephant is the way to go), then turbo tie rods, and then camber plates. That sound like a good order to do everything.... IMHO.
