seeking suspension advice
I have a bad rt. ft. spring. It's measurably lower. That's ok cuz I'd like to get new suspension anyhow.
Full disclosure...I'm not a mechanic but rather a software developer...who happened to just come across a good deal for a 2k2 CETA...anywhoooo.....
I've done "some" homework and was looking at STrano T2TrackPackage.
I want to do a little more than just replace springs.
I want the car to be stiffer around corners and more responsive.
I do NOT want to spend more than ~$800.
I do not care if I feel every bump in the road...although, avoid this as much as possible.
Would those I mentioned above meet or exceed my wants?
Thanks for taking time to reply.

Get the Strano springs, bilstein shocks, if on a budget get founders performance LCA's relocation brackets and panhard bar, and if you have money left get either sfc's or sway bars

Also, I just noticed your pic is of Captain Picard. LOL. That's awsome. I'm sure I've seen the episode it's from...just can't place it right now.

Sways will certainly help on the street, but if you're serious about handling you're going to have to step it up. Stock shocks will wallow like a shitty ****** unless you put something good under there.
