Default Suspension upgrades

Just wondering what the best upgrades I can do to really plant the rear tires down.. its already lowered but what else can I do? I don't want to make it to harsh of a ride but really nice for the twistys

Thanks

Drag Radials are exactly the wrong thing for the Twistys. www.FullTiltBoogieRacing.com will give you what you need. Watch the videos and you will be excited to see the difference.

Going Coil Over and some road race tires like Toyo R888 or RA1's will really help as well.

I guess I should read the whole thing. Sorry OP.

What are your goals for the car? Coilovers are almost always a great start. Options are limitless really. Your rear end will be $$$ to improve, but it's of course doable.

Full length sub frame connectors will be a great mod as well.

You can shed some weight in the front with a good tubular k member. Silly overweight iron block!

What springs/shocks do you currently have?

Springs are sportline eibach/ shocks bilstein.
I plan on eventually putting on a different supercharger so I'd rather beef up the suspension and brakes before I do.. since its a convertible the track wont let me run it.. so I'm leaning more towards making it an Autocross car
