Default Newbie Suspension question

i'm looking for some opinions on suspension upgrades. i'm not looking to lower the car at all as i live in nova scotia and i need to be able to drive it in the winter. i'm just looking to stiffen it up as i use it for auto slalom every now and again.

any suggestions on what i should get for an upgrade? no so stiff that i need air ride seats to drive in it but stiff enough to stiffen it up on the track a bit.

any info would be great...

More than likely your best bet would be Aftermarket adjustable shocks, Stiffer roll bars, Strut bars, polyurethane bushings all around.

That will tighten you up enough to hit the track often IMO.

you proably want something fully adjustable so you can set it up for the track then set it back when your going home...

i would suggest for lowering springs, the eibach sportlines. They lower the car only 1 1/4 and stiffens it up a bit. They arent to low so your not dragging everywhere,but they look nice!
