Default Need Help With Front End Suspension!

Hello, Folks!
It's me again. I'm looking to make my front suspension match my rear.
First of all, I have the D-spec shocks on my list.

What else can I do to make the oversteering go away in the front of the car?

Do you think I should get the GT front sway bar to match the rear bar that I have already?[/align] [/align] Thanks for any help![/align]

+1 on the Hellwig's...Yep Get em both. oversteer will become neutral. Do you have Poly aftermarket LCA's? they also help reduce Oversteer. basically anything yo can do to the rear to stiffen it will cause the front to track better and vice versa....

"GT front sway bar to match the rear bar"--- YES

Before I swapped the front sway, the steering was really sloppy. I have a bad habit of resting my knee on the bottom of the steering wheel to steer on straightaways. Before the GT sway on the front, there was no way I could do that, it was all over the road. Once I changed to the GT, not a problem. Nice and tight now.

how much does installation of the dpsec shocks/struts cost? I see the front and rear combo available on ebay for about $500, but I am afraid that installation will run me another $500. Anyone have any idea? I didn't find the front GT sway bar to make a big difference. It was the rear GT sway install that made the huge difference.

larger antisway bars will give you a big performance gain. dont forget it all means nothing if you dont have serious tires.
