Need Knowledge... - 7/9/2008 5:53:30 PM    Flatline1121   Posts: 74 Joined: 5/25/2008 Status: offline So, i need to improve my overall handling and make my car ride better overall. I would also like to lower it a bit as well. My problem is i know a little more than nothing about suspension. Or even what type of suspension my car has... or what the entire suspension consists of. I''m going to try to find out as much as i can from wiki and stuff but that only goes so far. So my main question is, what is best to do first when it comes to upgrading one''s suspension? OH and if i wanted to convert my car to rear disc, should i do that first or would the susoension be the same?  _____________________________ 1991 CB7 4 Door JDM H22A USDM H2U5 Tranny Custom SRI Greddy SP2 Cat-back Post #: 1
