Cheap Suspension Upgrades....
So, bang-for-the-buck wise, what is the best way to go?
Strut Tower Bars? Solid Bushings? Endlinks?
I'm just looking for something cheap(er) to add to the handling.

Bushings if you can do the work yourself. Shocks/strut inserts otherwise. And the biggest improvement (pure grip) will always be tires (assuming you've got old tires).

I wasn't blown away by the change a strut bar made to my '88. I actually noticed the difference more at low speeds, in terms of added linearity in the steering rate. I have heard that the front lower control arm brace is really good value, though, and I suspect that the stiffer you make things, the more this kind of bracing matters. My car was made of slop, so it may not be a good reference.

Greg, you mentioned recently that you were getting an alignment done. Were you happy with the specs you used? I've got one scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Thanks!

3 grand Koni's. what are you buying? Koni Yellows are less tan $800 for a complete set and an entire 944 spec suspension is only 2k or so.
