Front Suspension Feels Loose.

Best way to make the front of the car feel nice and grounded? Feels wobbly at 110+.
Ideas? Maybe new Struts, Sways, Lowering Springs? Thanks

All of the above.

New shocks, higher spring rates, poly bushings, new ball joints, sway bars, control arms, proper alignment. They all work together.

Adjustable upper control arms up front (kinetix v2 or SPC), front lower ball joints (steering knuckle), rear adjustable control arms (SPC or Eibach) and toe bolts, shocks, sways and an eibach pro kit if you want a modest drop. Or try to find some stock sport springs if you want stock height.

If you drop it with the eibachs tho you're gonna want some 25mm spacers.

Then get a full alignment and shoot for about -1.4 camber in the rear and -.08 up front.

What's the point? That's not gonna make a difference. You need a thicker sway bar, not just a new one.

Also, the adjustable arms are gonna make a huge difference because of the alignment numbers you'll be able to reach. Proper alignment makes all the difference in the world.

I've wanted to try those mevotech ball joints, cuz they're the only ones I've seen with a zerk fitting on the bottom. Not sure why no one else does that (that I've seen).
