Default Better Handling

Well i have a 96 Z28 t-top car, what company should i go with for heavy weight springs? List some company's want weight springs are good, links would be even better. I dont want to drop the car if not needed the most o would lower the car would be an inch. If i were to lower it i know you would need the re-location brackets. I already know that i need to get SFC's, LCA's, adjustable PHB, and some bigger meats it the frount and back. Shocks im not sure on i dont know what to get i cant afford Koni yellow double adjustables, or bilsteans at this time if i get all the suspention parts. I mean there are numders of ways to get a car to handle well i mean like not getting body roll when taking a turn, you know it stays flat and hugs the road good. OH and sway bars how makes a good aftermarket one or go 1LE. Or should i go with all 1LE stuff.

They make a coilover kit. You can adjust the ride height back to nearly stock. I'd start there.

In my opinion, the shocks are by far the weakest link in the stock suspension. Koni SAs are the only suspension mod I have on my TA right now, and it was absolutely a night and day difference. I'm still waiting for my 35mm ST swaybar though. Seems to be a big backup for those bars right now. Next on the list is some bigger meats, then I'll work on the rest of the suspension.
