Ryan---Prepare to spend whatever is necessary to do the complete
package, front and rear. Adding a rear bar of any diameter OVER 5/8"
along with a stock front bar can get the car swapping ends when into
panic manoevers. (Isn't panic manoevers the goal)? Or get the Addco
front and rear anti-roll package that increases the front bar diam.
Semi-comp springs seem to be the hot ticket for road cars. These are
rated at about 20% stiffer than stock.
Koni shocks last "forever".
Suspension bushings in the Nylatron family take out most of the squish
and rear wheel steering.
Tire profiles of 70% and lower takes some of the wiggle out of lane
changes.
I don't have the rear tubes, but I'm weakening.
What I've found with most of the above is far greater control AND a
smoother ride at higher than 50 mph speeds, especially when there is an
additional 200 lb. in the car and trunk. I must give up some boulevard
ride, as the car tends to crash over bumps at low speeds with light
loads.
Do as much of this yourself as you can for greater enjoyment of the car.
If you get stuck, there's a gang of us who can help unravel any
mysteries.
