Subject: 900NG handling improvement suggestions


Hi all, Having recently gotten my entire brake system redone for free -- thanks, extended warranty :) -- I'm feeling inspired to spend a little bit of money improving the handling of my '95 900SE/V6. I've done a bit of searching & don't feel like I have any better idea where to start. Right now I believe all suspension is factory. My rims are "15 non-factory Ronal rims which are really quite nice & my tires are also quite new (so not keen to change wheel size unless it'll make a significant difference). I've seen some spring kits out there for my car. I know that I could replace the shocks and that a thicker anti-sway bar would probably help. I suppose bigger rims would be good, but would it make that much difference to buy "16 rims? I think "17 is asking for trouble (from potholes) in my area, I suppose that depends on the rims though. (had a volvo s60t5 for awhile & never had bent rim trouble, but friend's bmw rims got bent up on the same roads). The main thing I'd like to improve is the car's ability to take corners without so much roll. It could also be a little more rigid / stiff going over gentle road depressions, etc. I really like the way my '91 900S handles in general & would like to give some of those qualities to my 900NG. So, from a bang-for-buck perspective, where should I start? Springs, shocks, sway bar, wheels? Does anyone know if there is a "sport suspension" package for my car (V6) available from the dealership? Thanks in advance, Hans
