    I do believe the front bar is the same as yours, so it's really not worth it. phb and lca's probabn't aren't much better than yours, but I'm not sure about those. 1le phb and lca's are REALLY cheap on gmpartsdirect, I'd go with those.

      Will that lower it at all?

      edit: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...ber=1LESTABKIT

      Is that what you are talking about? If so, how would it stand up to Eibachs or other aftermarket shocks? I'm not looking for anything that's will make me regret going over pebbles, I just want to tighten it up a bit so I can go on canyons without fearing for my life :D

        No it won't lower it, springs are what lower the car. That package from gmpd is just sway bars, no shocks. They won't help you car hitting pot holes or bumps, they make the car sway (side to side rocking movement) less. I have that same front bar on my car, I like it alot. What exactly are you wanting out of this suspension work?

          You know what, I'm not really sure to be perfectly honest. I guess I want tighter suspension that will allow me to take turns better but no need for AutoX or anything at that caliber. I also would like to feel the road more when I'm driving and definitely get rid of the huge ammount of body roll I have. Lowering an 1" to 1.5" would be a plus but not necessary. I know that's REALLY vague, but I don't know much about suspension yet.

          Of course the last factor is the money situation. I don't want to drain my savings account for this, but I'd be willing to spend $200-$250.

          I'd appreciate ANY suggestions.

            Well your car is fairly old, have the shocks ever been replaced? That might be a good place to start. Subframe connecters would help body roll, as would sway bars. All I've done is sway bars, and my car feels alot more solid, I'm no expert on the subject though, I'd read through the mod encyclopedia and do a search for specific parts, you'll find alot of good info around.
