I tried doing a little search pretty much came empty handed but I plan on buying some suspension parts tomorrow. I pretty much know the shocks/struts/springs im going with.
My main Q is that I love just going out late at night and romping down the highway. Thing is when im nearing high speeds car feels like it gives a little sway. Basically saying is what do I need to purchase to get that stablity in my car.
Thanks in Advance guys

mostly just help with launches, but im sure they would help at high speeds too. get a functional wing that might help too. and im not talkin abut one of those nasty wings, im talkin abut a flat aluminum one that comes off the back of the car

Dont listen to this fella, he has ABSOLUELTY no experience with anything hes talking about.

Your going to want some lowering springs to lower your center of gravity to get rid of that swaying feel. Ploy bushing, possibly adjustable shock and struts.

Good luck
