3rd Generation 3rd gen suspension Q's?

does anyone make any sway bars?
other suggestions to increase handling ability without killing the ride?
any one tried the Bilstein Touring class shocks (struts)?

whiteline makes a rear sway bar, not sure about front but I am sure you can find one. I dont remeber anyone ever mentioning one for the front. Then you can do a strut tower brace for the front struts also. Those two will stiffen it up some.

That is a matter of opinion.

no specs on the metal strength but it is stupidly thick, just hav ea look. although its 10 years old it might need a refreshing of some sort to get it back to its original rigidity.

if the front was undersized that would mean youre front is diving going into a corner and giving you MASSIVE initial oversteer, which i bet it isnt =)

if your front is diving going into corners, you have more problems than sway bars to worry about. I second that the stock ones are beefy enough, if your not satisfied with that, perhaps some polyurethane bushings are your answer. dont throw parts at a car if you dont know what the problem is.

right now I'm doing research.
the lifts have all been in use when I had time to bring it in.

some day I'll get around to fixing everything that's wrong on this pile. I hope
