I was thinking about beefing up my suspension. Just thinking sway bars.

Any other suggestions and who do I BUY?

 

Sways are a good place to start. I put Hotchkis Sway bars part# 22101 on mine.

Struts, shocks and springs would be next. Some to look at are KW, H&R, Eibach. Not sure what you think of air but you might look into them as well.

 

Bags would be nice. I think the resale would drop though.

 

Ok your doing this for you right, not the next person that will own the car LOL if'n you ever sell it. You'll never get back what you put into it.

Can you store the old spring/shocks/struts so you can go OEM if needed?

 

So true. Are the sway bars hard to install??

 

I was jacking ya there man

The Front is easy the Rear isn't bad but you need a hydraulic jack to drop the rear down. There are 4 bolts that hold the rearend assembly to the frame (see pic).

It will take probably 15 minutes to to the front and another 45 to do the rear.

On the rear:
Jack up rear of the car and put jack stands to support both rear sides at the same time
Pull the wheels off
Put the jack under the pumpkin
Take the 4 bolts out
Drop the jack (rearend) about 5"
Unbolt and Thread out the OEM sway
Thread in the new sway bolt it up
Jack up the rearend and put the 4 bolts back in.
Done.

what brand did you end up installing . And can you really tell the difference over stock. stock is not that bad

 

Hotchkis is what I put on, the part number is in post 2.

The stock sways are good but there's a big difference. I can fish tail around and not have body roll. The stock shock/struts are also good but when I switched them out for the KWs I can feel the road. The car really stays planted after swapping the sways, shock/struts/springs. On the flip side it lost the cushy ride.
