I have a myriad of things that I have planned for my car, but am having trouble what to do next. So far I've just done mechanical things to make the car reliable. Now I want to do something that I can really feel a difference.......

Would upgraded my suspension be the nest logical step?

I want eibach sportlines/ or prokit and some kind of unadjustable shocks, maybe koni red (which ARE semi adjble) or some blisteins. Would springs and shocks give me a real noticeable difference in handling? I really want to firm up the ride and have the steering be super responsive, go-kart like....

 

sounds like a good plan, similar to mine. except mine includes replacing all the wear items of the suspension, first. such as that little bushing inside the steering rack, other bushings that aren't in almost new condition, all balljoints (including tie rod ends) etc. just because i think it should be in perfect working order before you try to ask more out of it.

that's just my opinion, though.

 

Yeah I'm thinking about replacing my worn bushings with factory bushings.

 

If you are going to replace your old bushings, go with an aftermarket urethane bushing kit like energy suspention or prothane, that alone will make i big difference in how you car handles. Replace your upper and lower balljoints and tie rod ends. I have the omnipower sport full coilovers in my hatch and I love them. Everyone thats been in my car says it rides/handles like a go kart. Good luck with your car

 

omnipower suspension= lots of fun on the on/off ramps

 

I might have to install them myself......How hard a job????

Are coilovers easier to install than springs/shocks
