Police sway bars ($75 or less) - flatter cornering
New stock or heavy duty coil springs ($150 or less) - stiffer spring rates, restores ride height
Bushings/Ball Joints ($100ish) - Removes slop from all moving joints-Matt

Again, Nitro is right...though need to add one thing and specify another.
Get heavy duty poly endlinks for the front and get the police rear bar ONLY. Unless you have some insanely small front bar. The front upgrade isn't really that necessary.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Yeah, definitely poly endlinks and frame bushings for the bar. Cheap and easy. I'm actually considering replacing my front bar with a smaller one to see what it feels like. The big front bar helps a lot when you have crappy worn out suspension but if its in decent shape it shouldn't matter that much. It helped my car when it had old suspension but now I think its actually too much.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
