Message: <blockquote data-quote="tony-muscle" data-source="post: 407607" data-attributes="member: 2681">As you say it is subjective depending also on how you use your car. I spent a lot of effort in the front suspension but I also run AutoX and track so I won't go in that direction because most of these mods are not needed for street use. However, of all the mods I have done, the one that I consider made the best improvement was going with Mike Maier's 4.5 leaf springs and Bilstein shocks. The improvement in traction and suspension feel was enormous to say the least. His leaf springs are expensive but you pay what you get for. I have only used these 4.5 leaf springs so I can't compare to others. The rear will feel firm but not overly stiff and you will eliminate wheel hop without the use of traction bars.One thing I have to say about coilovers in the front is that by themselves they will not give you a performance advantage if you were using the same coil rating. However, it allows you to easily change your ride height, which is a big plus, but not a necessity for most.As mentioned above checking any slop in the steering components makes a huge difference. Sending the steering box to a reputable rebuilder and changing the internal valving to a more "stiff" feeling helps a ton.I have mix feelings about the strut rod upgrade. That will entirely depend on how you drive your car. The clevis type of strut rod takes a lot of the unwanted flex that comes from the strut rod bushings and the adjustable feature makes adjusting caster a breeze.</blockquote>
