Default A little help

I'm looking to make my DD a great handling car, but I will not lower it. What would be the best course of action to achieve this? I was thinking Bilstein HD's, front and reat sway bars, LCA's, PHR, SFC. I'm not sure about springs.
The car will stay pretty much stock as far as power, maybe headers, but thats about it. Thanks

Hello
It sounds like you are starting in the right direction.....And I just wanted to throw this out there for you that UMI Performance offers all of the pieces that you have mentioned. And as far as springs another suggestion for you would be a set of Strano Springs or a Pro Kit set up. They both offer a great stance. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer for your particular needs.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

I basically have that exact setup, everything but springs, and all of them improved the car. I think it handles and rides great for what it is. I have done several HPDEs and it holds is own. I would look at springs and Konis but don't want to lower mine either. I wish initial turn in was better/crisper but am otherwise happy with it.

With better shocks you can have that.

Do they make a better handling spring for stock riding F-bodies?
