Low dollar verses high dollar susp upgrade

[64skylarkls1]

Okay guys, I'm impressed with all of your insight and have learned a lot. To answer some questions... I'm a mechanical/manufacturing engineer of 25 years and jack of all trades EXCEPT BODY WORK no patience! I can fab whatever is needed and love turning the hobby wrench. The car is a convertible so it does have some additional stiffness already. Yes, it will be a daily driver and there are no road courses by me nor is that my intent. Yes, my 98 Trans Am handles incredibly but I don't need to get there with this car.

What it comes down to is that I don't know enough about this era of car to know where the money is best spent concerning the suspension but I don't want to tear up tires or be bottoming out all the time either. So many suppliers and products. I will make the calls to the contacts you recommended.

I would love to hear from a few early A body guys, what you did, cost.... benefit... What would be considered necessary and what would be a waste.

You've given me much to think about and I have much to learn!!

Thanks to all!!!
