muhahaha.. just the words i wanted to hear.

My response: Search.

You get what you pay for, the more you spend on your suspension the stiffer and flatter it will handle. i've ridden on a '92 turbo w/ GR2s and stock springs, and I've ridden on my 90 w/ AGXs and H&Rs. I like the H&R setup better. In addition, anti-sway bars can be had through a variety of companies (which have been covered previously and can also be found through searching the net).

If you have specific questions about different suspension setups, then feel free to ask, I've ridden on quite a few, and the rest of the group can contribute more.

Now, if there are more questions concerning your original question then lets continue this thread. If not, well then.....

One more question about sway bars then im all set:
If I got both front and rear would it kind of balance out the oversteer understeer thing?

that's a matter of mathematics. in my experience, most people start by upgrading the rear anti-sway bar instead of the front.

Increase the stiffness of the rear of your car and it will understeer less, oversteer more.

Increase the stiffness of the front of your car and it will understeer more, oversteer less.

Balance these out in the correct proportions and your handling will be neutral. This can be done not only with sway bars, but also with strut settings, spring rates, and other suspension tweaks.

Once all of that is worked out tire pressure works well for fine tuning.

You'd be surprised what good rubber will do for a car's handling. I have and continue to be amazed with the GS-D3's I'm running. With the suspension I have and good rubber.....my car sticks. It still has a little bit of body roll/twitchiness.

I really need to do the bushings before I dig any further into things though.

My '93 L, AWD, NA, AT did NOT come with rear sway bar. No ABS either (although I'm not too keen on ABS).
