Salutations:
Are you the fellow behind that 94 project? I've dropped in to look it over a few times before - *very* nice job.
Anyway - the problem here is one of longevity rather than outright performance. I need to uprate the engine and frame mounts as the roads can become extremely rough without any proper notice roadside. Flat and smooth with a 4 inch deep 12 inch long crater out of nowhere at 80mph takes it's toll, you know?
To make it work daily around here, my take is I want stiffen all the inboard components - but use compliant shocks/struts to make it transmit hits and jars across the shocks rather than the body itself. Perhaps a strut brace would be in helpful?
I am more than happy with the basic sway bar(s) - but am hoping to make the whole car roll and bounce more securely as a unit between the shocks/struts (if that makes any sense). You would be the lad to ask I guess.
Lowering with or without stiffer springs is not really an option without a really solid skid plate for reasons noted.
I am very interested in your lower mount mod - did you find it made the oil-filled lower mounts last a bit longer or did you go solid rubber in those holes?
