Make my car handle better, CHEAP!!!!!! Options

[ninefourteener]

Ok..... forgive me for buying / owning a teener that pretty much underwent a ground up restoration less than 10K before I bought it......... so I really haven't done anything "mechanical" to it at all..... only appearance upgrades.

But I'd like it to handle better.. you know, hold the curves tighter, less body roll, etc.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do that isn't going to break the bank? Maybe some tips? Tricks? Cheap parts? Where can I get them? Where do I start? Whats the easiest upgrade, and will produce the highest desired effect??

Look at it from the perspective of a car that the suspension is 100% original.... as mine is. I know there are a lot of auto Xers on here, so any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I feel this thread has definite "flame war" potential (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) I'll try not to be the first person to hurl a grenade at anyone even tho Ben pretty much called me an idiot flat out.

Hey! I didn't say anything about your comments! Are you kidding? You took the correct aproach - asking more questions like:

Find out (or tell us if you already know) what you have. You said suspension is 100% original. Do you mean original as in it's 30 years old or original in that all original spec parts were used during the restoration?

What year is the car?

Do you have swaybars?

These are all questions that needed answering before a valid recomendation could be made. I thought you were doing good.

ps - I know you are joking around.
