how many miles are on it? replace all the suspension bushings with new oem spec ones. it will feel like a brand new car.

http://www.importbuilders.com/suspension.html

go all the way to the bottom, there is a package deal, coil-overs, strut bar, and tie bars. that would make an awsome set-up for you. then replace the bushings, at most I think they are 125 for the energy suspension, (im just sayin that for price purpose, at most its gonna be $125)

I am gonna buy the suspension set-up soon....(the one in the site I give you)

Go with the energy suspension bushings (hyper flex system).

the rollcage in the black car stiffined it up soooo much if i pull up into the little hill to the parking lot at work sideways the inside back wheel will lift off the ground cause the suspension cant react fast enough, of course it is more dramatic the faster you go.
