What is the best Tool for the buck? See the problem w/ that question?

It would help if we knew what your goal was. Drag racing/Road racing/Daily driver etc.

Ebbsnflows is correct, the more detailed information you can give, the closer to correct the answers will be. This also includes any mods, current or future.
YMMV.

Easy. Koni SAs.

Yeah, they're over 800 bones...but you spend that on tires in a heartbeat. Tires wear out. Konis, well, they just change the car you drive.

The best bang Konis is close, but for the mere 179.99 to get a chrome moly double adjustable panhard bar really made the live axle, much more of a tamed beast!

Really? You'd say that the Panhard Bar gave your car that much of a difference in your ride?

Hopefully you read this or do a search before you purchase, but do not bother with over the counter cheap-o stock replacement shocks.

35 MM hollow front Sway bar from Strano. I have Tokico shocks, and they are ok, but I believe both Bilstein and Koni are the way to go. The shocks did help but the big Strano front sway bar made a huge diff. It turns much harder without breaking loose and quick lane changes are now actually fun. Car feels very stable. I am going with SFCs and bigger rear sway bar next. My x brace is gone due to large Y pipe, and the car has some shudder from time to time so I am hoping the SFC's will cure this.
