Trying to achieve a bit firmer and better (sportier) handling on my 9kt-88.
Replacing my struts and shocks with KYB's. Yes I know some have had bad experience, and some have good - I'll try them for a lot less and lifetime warranty. At the same time I am planning on getting poly urethane bushings for the rear swaybar, and new OEM rubber for the front sway. I read hear on TSN that this combo was best to dial out most of the understear and get a firmer handling. This sounds good to me, just what I want.
Questions: Does anybody know where to find the good Poly bushings and which style to get? I have 18 mm sway bars (both front and rear).
Somebody recomended SuperFlex, not sure who sells them in the US,since they are from the UK.
Is it only the 2 bushings in the rear holding up the bar? DO you replace the end bushings as well?
Where to go to find this stuff?
Cybertroll to get me the 2 front OEM bushings in a few days for less than $10/pc.
I may later add lowered springs,anyone tried these? Do they give a very hard / bumpy ride? Shox.com recomended B&G with a 1.4" drop in height.
How does the car look? Too much like a lowrider? Anyone with pictures to e-mail? I owned a 5.0 Mustang a few years ago that I did this to and it really worked well in handling and looked fine (although only 3/4" drop). All cars are different though and not sure well this works on our dear Saabs...?
Thanks for any input if you have done this.
