I'm still unsure about the Weltmeister bushings, but I know that the originals need to be replaced.. I decided to go the cheap and squeaky first.. then monoballs if I hated it. I know I left out the top-plate.. I'm still thinking about that one..

Eventually, the car will be set up for ASP autocross.

There should be some fun/dirty weekends ahead of me for a bit! wish me luck.

Good luck, sounds like some great upgrades. Post some pics and I bet it will handle like a champ after all of that.

here it was a year or so ago at an event. Despite MULTIPLE spins.. I still beat that red Camaro in front of me.

y'know.. I have driven that car in anger for so many years, I never spun it til I got on the slaloms.. It was quite an eyeopener. Spins non-withstanding, it sure was nice to auto-x a car that wasn't lacking in power.
With the new parts, I'll have to learn to drive her all over again.
That's ok, "a sharper knife is a safer knife.."
