For my 1998 900SET I keeep the stock springs and did the following:
1) Steering rack brace & polyurethane tracking control arm bushings
2) Koni Sport adjustable front struts and rear shock absorbers
3) 22mm (7/8”) rear anti-sway bar
4) Sub-frame brace
The steering rack brace and polyurethane bushing made the most difference; followed by the Konis; the rear anti-sway bar; then the sub-frame brace.
The rear anti-sway bar and sub-frame brace were the least cost; with steering rack brace and polyurethane bushing and Konis the most cost.
