New suspension for my Cutty 1981 ?
Got the Cutlass LS sedan. It's got the old boring springsuspension. What should I get to tighten up the ride a bit ? Make it more stable in the tight turns y'know...

I think that replacing the springs and using new poly bushings all up front would tighten it up a bit. I know people have played with the spring rate when replaceing the springs by using springs that aren't the same as OEM but have no idea how to know or do it safely. And stiffer shocks too, forgot about them.

if you're looking to replace the shocks I highly recommend KYB Gas-adjust shocks. A set of 4 cost $176 and it rides like a champ. i also replaced the sagging rear springs with new stock springs and it feels like a new car now
