Default Suspension Setup

Alright, got a 97 v6 basically stock with exhaust and intake.
Im learning to drift, and anyone else with my model should know the suspension is not very good. Lots of body roll, and unstiff suspension, which leads to a lot of understeer.
Anyways, Im looking for some stiffer suspension. I was thinking to go with sway bars and strut bars just to start out. Any help?

Awesome!, check out our forum (in my sig) if you happen to live anywhere close.
Probably a good idea but idk if the swap would be hard considering we dont have coil overs. Anyone tried it?

Try a set of Maximum Motorsports Full length subframe connectors. I just got them installed about a week ago, and you can tell a difference. Body doesnt twist as much, and you stay planted more going into turns.

Well thats good if it just bolts up, but thats really expensive...I would probably put them in myself which should save a bunch of money hopefully.

Wow, I haven't heard much about subframe connectors but sounds like it is worth a try considering thats what i need to stop is body roll.
