You'll be putting 33,000 mile per year or more on that car!

Been there, Wife's Hyundai Elantra. Can't describe how gay the experience was. No ability to pass people, having to flog it on the ramps...just awful and because of all the whipping it got 29-32 MPG's. Nah I want a car i can be proud to drive every day

And more like 23920 Miles a year.

So I've been looking into suspension upgrades...I don't have the ***** ATM to road race but I do wan't her to be able to hook up pretty quickly. So far I'm thinking about some larger tires but what else will help with all the back wheel spin (don't say a lighter foot)

gotta get my 1/4 mile down!

Upper and lower control arms are a great start. They will prevent wheel hop, because the actual arms are stronger than OEM, and the 3-piece poly-urethane bushings are harder than the soft OEM rubber bushings.
