cheap way to stiffen ride?
 
does anyone know of a cheap do it yourself way to stiffen up the ride? i know i can get new springs/struts, but i am way poor rite now and would like a stiffer ride. i just like the way stiff suspensions feel.

you could add spring rubbers...but that may raise the height of the car as well.

where would i find these? do they have to be car specific or just universal? any rough idea on cost?

sorry ill start reading everyones sigs now on :rolleyes: prolly would have been wise to mention what you had in the first place, instead of sounding stock.

just look for some good lowering springs ...
stiffer shocks can also be had to ,, the zx2 ones .. are available
