Hey all,

i went on a cruise yesterday around the best of Victoria's twisties and i have really come to realize that my car handles like crap.

i dont really want to replace my suspension, so im thinking along the lines of a X-brace or sway bars can anyone recommend some brands or some alternatives.

Cheers guys

May I ask how many miles are on your car before I go any further?

So relatively low. Your shocks/struts still have some life left in em:alright

UUC has some nice sway bars http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/html_product/sway_barbarian/index.htm

You can get the x-brace from turner http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=E36X

I would also invest in replacing all of your bushings/mounts. Definitely should replace your transmission and subframe mounts.
