First off, hi folks.
Got inherited a 93 GMarq LS. A Real "grandpa (in-law)" car. He didn't die- he's moving to florida and takin the second (2003) with him- 2nd car will be a golf cart! lol
Anyway- car has low miles, always dealer serviced to the extreme- absolutley NOTHING mechanically wrong with it.
BUT- I HAVE to do something about the handling. I've been doing some lurking around here, and want to know the "expert" thoughts on what I'm thinking about doing (for now, lol)
OK- I want to as much as I can right off, so, although some of these ideas may have BETTER solutions- I have an inital budget.
1. Replace shocks with FoMoCo PI Crown Vic shocks
2. Replace sway bars with boneyard PI CV items with new bushings
3. Replace stock pizza cutter tires with Later model Mustang take-offs (w/spacers)
4. Cut a bit on the coils to drop a bit (esp. the rear- WAY too high)
Thoughts on this guys? Be honest I can take it, but keep in mind- I have a budget here, and all of this will fit it right now. All of the work I'm doin myself.
I have to get that floaty ride outa there- think this will do it, or am I going to turn it into a dump-truck ride?
I know it will be firmer/harsher, but I'm not going to race it or anything.
Thanks in advance.
