Thanks, Bob! Bob wrote: > So, I'd suggest shocks first, wheels/tires if you want to spend the > cash. Springs if you want to go for extra handling, steering kit > next. Sway bar last. MHO. I appreciate the advice. I had seen references to the steering brace, but handn't thought of that when thinking of upgrades. I think I will start with the Koni shocks then do wheels when my tires have worn a bit more. & then we'll see after that. Will the shocks make a significant difference in cornering or would I want to look into the springs for that? I suppose lowering always helps in corners (but probably not in snow). Also, do you have a rough idea how many hours of labor I should budget for changing the shocks? I probably wouldn't do that project myself. And lastly, after changing the suspension will I need to have my wheels re-aligned? Thanks again. Hans
