Default Need Knowledge...

So, i need to improve my overall handling and make my car ride better overall. I would also like to lower it a bit as well. My problem is i know a little more than nothing about suspension. Or even what type of suspension my car has... or what the entire suspension consists of. I'm going to try to find out as much as i can from wiki and stuff but that only goes so far. So my main question is, what is best to do first when it comes to upgrading one's suspension? OH and if i wanted to convert my car to rear disc, should i do that first or would the susoension be the same?

the suspension would be the same with the rear disc conversion

for most dramtic handling increase do coilovers, a good quality set can run you from $1-3,000.

for a cheaper brand check out K-sport, a more expensive being Tein, or the best being Zeal.

if thats a little over your buget then just get a set of eibach springs, and a set of nice struts.

also some good additions would be sway bars and strut bars.

read suspension 2.0 It's a sticky in the suspension category. If you can handle fairly intense geometry, look up the Ingalls Engineering Suspension Primer on Google.
