First suspension mod

Re: First suspension mod
I took Strano's advice and got bistein shocks valved to his specs, and a massive 35 mm solid swaybar (or i guess you can spend the extra dough and get a bigger but hollow swaybar) My goal was not to stray too far from OEM specs, use stock springs, with no lowering and drastic change in ride quality. My use was street, some autox, and perhaps some opentrack days.. Its basically his SCCA SOLOII F-S setup..
Then I also go the T2R diff. Its kinda pricey around the $500 mark or so, but man does it feel nice when you power out of the turns.
of course there's the matter of tires too..
Most important is the driver of course..
I called them up, and left my number, and Strano called me back and helped me pick stuff out..
Since your car is a 94, other things are 10+ years old now, also might want to consider replacing the wearable items to "tighten" things up again..

Re: First suspension mod
I dunno, i was hoping you would be able to find out by checkin your car, so I would know what to expect when my 99 hits that mark..
from just hearing and reading from this and that, I always hear people talk about checking/replacing the balljoints, tie rods, various bushings inthe front and back, wheel bearings.... and then in the steering I read the guys a frrax.com use a rag joint eliminator, and make sure various bolts are tight to reduce that dead center feel.. I have only 51k miles on my 99 so I haven't gotten around touching anything of that stuff yet.
also on alignment, generally for street up to -1 camber, max pos castor, and some run a hair toe out, or toe in , or 0 - which i follow
