I also just before that did all my ball joints,tie rods brakes etc basically giving me a %100 new running gear.I'm a firm believer in a replacing all suspension,steering,brakes etc before ever touvhing anything hp wise.I also had local autocrosses in mind so I wanted a tight chassis.Have fun get at least a flat of the finest local brew and get er done

), and various other cheap ----. So basically i've been saving up for the last 2 months and i'm ready to just start dropping it on my car. First things to do is all the suspension and next target will be getting rid of these what look like 2 inch brakes :P. Kyb doesn't make the agx's for rear on 88's (at least they dont list them under their applications page).
After checking the rear I was surprised that the car didn't come with a rear sway bar, so maybe i can go all chingo-bling and do the rear disk swap, making life alot easier on those struts.

just go to the local yard and pick up some lower control arms. takes 10 seconds to unbolt and they cost like 6 bucks each, and that way you can get some from a car with a sway bar so your rear arms have a sway bar mounting hole.
