Yes very much so.I have one blow shock now but if i had some type of coilover or lowering springs with good shocks it would handle like a motherfu#ker.
I bought prothane bushings for my car.But they were a pain in the as# to do.Sense the bushings were 1 or 2 millimeters bigger than the hole you had to put them in.you have to press them it with a vice or a hydraulic press.But it is well worth it in the end.
Before it had so much body roll and now when you turn a corner it doesn't have much body roll.If i had better shocks i would really have no body roll.

Google TM Engineering and buy Daizen poly bushings. They have kits for all the front control arm bushings 99 buck and 150 for the rear and your rack bushing and sway bar bushings range form 30 to 40 bucks.

I bought mine from a guy on eBay.I didn't buy dazien bushings because you have to cut out sleeves and press new ones back in.I bought prothane bushings.I have heard a lot good things about them as well i think i payed right at $400 for every thing control arm bushings front and rear.sway bar bushings tie rod bushings and some other bushings as well.But i do recommend buying dazien steering rack bushings.When i bought the steering rack bushings form eBay it did not come with the round clamp style bushing.But it did come with the other two bushings.So i hope that helps.

I would start off with the rack bushings and sway bar bushings. The control arm bushings are kinda pita and time consuming. You might be pleased with the result's of just changing out the bushing for those two components.

Ya but it just seems easier not to put them back in.What do you mean about (Quote)You can also get the dazien with the sleeve already included just 50 bucks more.You dont have to use sleeves in the prothane bushings because the bushings are that much bugger.
