Upgrades, looking for thoughts...
I am looking to do some chassie/suspension upgrades. My car right now is really loud, and not comfortable to drive at all. All the springs, and other things are 18 years old, and have 140k miles, so I think its time for replacement. Need to do in 2 stages, so suggestions on that is appreciated too...

Very extensive & expensive list of Items...I would list a shorter one.....
1) SFC's (sub frame conectors) most important ITEM on 3rd gen car
2) Struts & shocks (less expensive then Bilstien, I went KYB)
3) Strut mounts (if needed) Mine were good after 20+ years
4) STB (strut towner brace)
5)LCA's (rear lower control arms)
6) Panhard bar
7) Steering Kit
I am going to stop here for the reason the above items are already well over
$1400....Spohn is a good source and most of those above items I have on my car are from Spohn.

I need the steering kit, my stearing is really bad. When I hit a bump it pulls left, then I hit another it starts to pull right, I hit another and it drives straight...
I have KYB shocks I got back in 2001, they just ride so rough... I know its a sports car, and handeling requires a stiff ride, but the car feels like its about to shake apart. I rented a corvette for a weekend, and it rides MUCH better. Granted thats a $60,000 sports car... lol I just want the best ride I can get out of it. Wasn't sure if springs would help, since my car has 140k miles on the stock springs from 1991...
If I'm doing the steering, would sway bars be good to do at the same time? or should I just hold off on them for later??

Swaybars are standard on 3rd gen Carmaros, you might check the end links front & rear.. You did not state what engine and model you have??
