I am pretty sure that it has torsion bars in the front so you will prolly just wanna replace the shocks and be sure to cut the bump stops in half to avoid hard impact then just turn the nut counter clockwise till you like the look or till you like the ride. for the back new shocks cut bumpstopps and get coil overs. this is just my suggestion though Good luck man..

Amen man.

You have to decide on what youwant to do with the car auto-x, drag race, ect..
Then decide on your suspension.I would say just get some GC's with some good shocks, and call it a day.
