So decided to get the Celi something for Christmas, but here is the issue, i know i want suspension components, but what is it that i want to get for her?
Sway-bars? or Upgraded poly suspension bushings..... curious to which is going to have a more noticeable improvement on overall handling, but after doing some research im going to have to buy a ton shop press to get the bushings out and install the new ones so they are going to be about the same price, but what should i get? -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica Project Mean Green

sway bars, not only because they have the greater of the impact on the overall performance of the suspension, but because companies are stopping to manufacturer them, if you look hard enough you'll find the sway bars for our cars on sale at a really good price, because they are consider " dead inventory " so buy them while you can still find them.

I have both, some people prefer rear only, I have no experience with the rear only, but I love the way the car feels with both, but again, can't compare.

just FYI, not too long ago, they were being sold for ~ 260 EACH
I got mine on a GB that a member here organized for 250 shipped for both. but other than that GB, the normal price for them was ~ 260 each, so grab them while you can. -------------------- |

If anything get rear first. Getting a just a thicker front is a downgrade lol

Alot of people say get both but even with rear on full settings its still pretty hard to come unstuck, the only time I ever had an issue was on cold semi slicks with tyres thicker at the front
 You do have to be a little bit more aware but once you get used to its good, and its good idea to keep and eye on tyre tread, if they're low on the back take it easier etc. |
