Make a SC handle like a TC?
Is it possible to make a SC handle more like the greatly praised SS/TC? The SCed has some understeer/front-end problems because of its overly stiff front sway, and alot more time went into tuning the TCeds set up.
Iv been thinking the SCed already has pretty good shocks/struts/springs (not to hard not to soft) and a 24mm front sway so all it needs is a 24mm rear right? and then some slightly wider rims and 225 tires (or wider) instead of 215 and it should be pretty close right? or is it alot more complicated than that?
I read somewhere that aftermarket sways on balts don't replace the old one they just add a second sway...I don't think that's right? is it?

how much different are the TC shocks/struts then the SC?
yeah hawk hps's are the best street pads
and do slotted/cross drilled really help cooling people say they don't but every vette, ferrari, lamborgini and porscha have slotted/cross-drilled rotors so I don't think there just for looks.

did u notice a big difference with the control arm bushings? Does anyone make steering rack bushings?
I don't really want coil-overs the adjust ability is great but the car cant be to stiff then you cant pick up chicks with it

What is the improvment found in the TC suspension which makes it that much better than the SC? Is it the springs? The struts and shocks?
I have ss/sc springs on my 2.2 as of now, but I'm debating upgrading to the ss/tc springs or getting ss/tc struts and shocks and keeping the ss/sc springs.
