Comments:
This is just my starting point. Planning on completely upgrading the suspension this year
1. Best above improvement: Bilstein
2. Least effective above improvement: Taller tires
3. Next improvement: Probably going to go with a suspension rebuild after I get the car drivable, followed by hollow sway bar/s, subframe connectors, 1.0" or greater T-Bars, upgraded Leaf Springs, FF Stage III box, etc.
4. Above car handles IMO on a 1-10 ( 10 best Z06, 1 yugo): 4-5 (before the shocks)
