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 am suprised nobody has mentioned tires yet. You mentioned the size of your existsing tires, but are they old hard rubber all weather bricks or something better? I personally would start with good tires first before diving into a full on suspension rebuild.
You asked about the "adjustable springs". I think they probably meant adjustable spring perch. This is so you can adjust rear ride height. Here is an example... http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/914_arhk.htm |
