There are a variety of suspension and handling products out there in the market for soarers. To improve handling & decrease bodyroll, what does everyone recommended on doing to improve it,since I'm hoping to bring it to the track in the the future?

I was thinking of coilovers, new bushes, front and rear strut bars and a set of semi slicks :-).

Coil-overs
Bushes
Swaybars
Strut brace(Though will probably make a minimal difference)

Check and see if the bushes needed to replaced and also check the engine and transmission mounts too!

Then get WhiteLine Swaybar Blade Adjustable for the front and rear.

Hi Daniel,
I am planning to replace the bushes as soon as I have the time. Thanks for the reminder about the mounts.

Where can I purchase these engine and transmission mounts and also WhiteLine Swaybar Blade Adjustable for the front and rear? Would you be able to give a rough price on the mounts and swaybars? Cheers

Chan,

For the bushes, check them to see which one needed to replaced!

Usually the front lower bushes and the rest should be fine.

You can ask your mechanic for the Engine and transmission mounts prices.

The whiteline swaybars for the front and rear will cost around $500.

To improve handling and improve body roll I recommend a UZZ32.

"Quite simply the best all round GT ever built by anyone.
"Where others outclass it in performance,that performance can be purchased "aftermarket" supercharges,turbo's etc.
But the others cannot match it for ride comfort and handling and mechanical reliability.
I am so glad I did Not buy a 928

It will probably cheaper to swap out and change over cars to a 32 than to spend thousands on new tyres wheels and suspension upgrades.
