Suspension Help??????

[ChrisK]

My car has been sitting so long that when i drive it i feel like im on water.
Its real bouncy. I dont know if its the shocks/struts? and all my bushings?

I would like to maybe upgrade my suspension. Front and rear swaybars maybe?

Anyone do any of this?
Whats the solution???

Im finally getting back into the TTA Scene now that i got a 3 car garage!!!! :wink:

Chris,
These cars have decent front and rear sway bars already on them. They heve poly bushings on the ends and should still be good. If you still have the front shocks, then they should go. They were weak at best. I would look into a set of Koni struts and shocks for the car. The single adjustable gas standard shocks(orange) will work great for the street. Run the rears full soft and the fronts fairly stiff. If you want more of an auto-cross setup then run the Sport version (yellow) with the same setup. The 89-92 1LE rear control arms will help with wheel hop due to the stiffer bushings.

Lakewood
50/50 Series Rear (Street/Strip):
Used to properly load the rear wheels and prevent over-reaction and wheel hop. This shock is the best all-around choice for vehicles with leaf or coil springs.

OK maybe these. I like the fast that you car adjust them for street or strip. What would be the best choice???

Thanks
