My Car Is A Turnin Turd
Alright, my car is old, very old, 10 years and 140k miles to be exact. It was NOT well taken care of, and has been in 1 small accident. So I have the car looking great from the outside, but from the driverseat, the car feels like ****. In parking lots, tight slow turns are clunky/squeeky/and just plain ****ty. On the road, the turns are till loosy goose, and the car feels like its gonna fly da **** apart at high speed ( 100+ ) and rides so hard, I mean every little bump in the road jars my fillings loose..
I am looking to update my (probably original, stock) front peices. I have talked/read a bit, and think I have a good idea, on how to build my front suspension on a budget. Heres what I have in mind
Bilstin's off of a 98+ slp car
and then 1 coil cut off the stock springs for a 1 inch drop in the front.
Now are there any other things that I can do/replace/upgrade slightly to make my car, atleast handle as good as a stock f-body. I don't want to do a swaybar or anything hard core racing, no qa1's needed, just looking for a nice, daily driven set up, that wouldn't break the bank? I have replaced the outer tie-rod ends on the car, its got a fresh alignment, but I would go get a new one afterwards duh... What else should I do?

Re: My Car Is A Turnin Turd
I just bought a set of 3pt bolt in sub frame connectors, gonna bolt em up then weld em shut. 100 bucks shipped with the tip for a killer deal, hopefully that takes care of some of my squeeks and creeks.
I used some spray white litium greese on my front sway bar and it took care of my squeeks up front
