Just wondering anyone out there upgrade their coupe with performance parts offered by Carl Nelson. Which one of the following change/addition would make the biggest difference: Bilstein, upper stress bar, coil springs, sway bars. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.


Thai,

I just put new Bilstein shocks, the spring set and camber plates from Carl Nelson in my coupe last week. My car previously had Bilstein shocks, but they were tired and worn out. The new shocks and springs are great. I did not realize how worn my old shocks were until I had the new ones in. The ride is a little bit firmer than before, but still fine for around town. On a twisty road the set up is great. I don't know what larger sway bars would do, but this will satisfy most of the driving I do.
Phil
