palladio

Well I just bought a 97 993 C2 with 61K miles on Friday. The car feels great but definitely needs an alignment. The front tires are also somewhat cupped and need to be replaced (back end has nearly new Toyo's, front has Contis).

Other than a pull to the left, the car also seems to "wander" or be a bit twitchy with road imperfections at speed. It doesn't want to track straight without some slight corrections. It's like the road is pushing the car around. I'm wondering if along with the new front tires and an alignment a suspension upgrade as mentioned here would be the ticket. This car is going to be driven regularly, and I have a bad back, so I don't want anything too low or harsh on real world roads. How harsh is this HD/ROW setup as compared to stock? Is the "wandering" thing I'm experiencing mostly an alignment/tire issue or also due to old shocks/springs?

palladio,
While I'm sure your stock suspension is tired, I would blame worn tires and a bad alignment on the symptoms you describe.

Naturally, the worn tires are probably a result of a bad alignment....
