Default New Suspension Mods, Couple ?

hello there
first off thanks for taking the time to even read my post.i just recently purchased a 98 ws6 with 40k on the clock.she already has welded subframes,bilsteins and sportlines.=( i just ordered today some hotchkis sway bars,hotchkis control arms,a strut tower brace and a hotchkis panhard bar.im curious how much of adifference im going to feel in control in the twisties.i live in a VERY rural place on oregon and i was curious if those mods are going to make a HUGE difference.its been 2 years or so since ive been in the fbody scene so just wanted to get some opinions.thank you for your time

I'd recommend replacing the Bilsteins with Koni SA for much better control and a better ride too.

Which ones? Poly/Poly? Poly/Rod? Rod/Rod?
If handling is what you are after, I'd recomment poly/rod or rod/rod.

Since the hotchkis swaybar set has such a big rear bar, you might feel a little more tail happy then normally. Basically all that stuff you ordered will definitely cause the car to roll less and all the components will have less travel, which a lot of people seem to like for daily driving. When you read a lot of threads you'll find that stiffer isn't always better for the track
