Reply to "Pantera handling"

Mark,

If you want to improve the handling there is as much to do as your wallet can afford.

For the biggest bang for the buck (Not in any order):

1) The suspension bushings should be changed if they are 20+ years old. Polyurethane or stock - each have there admirers and detractors.

2) Wheels and tires - Get the latest sizes available.

3) Springs and struts - Get the latest. Height adjustment is all you really need for everything but race. You will need to balance ride harshness versus roll stiffness. The other thing to watch here is the rear camber. You may need to purchase extendable upper rear A-arms to get the alignment.

5) Rear anti-roll bar should be upgraded to 7/8 inch or 1 inch.

Personally, rather than spending the $$ on the spherical roll bar bushings, I would invest those dollars into new shocks and springs.

HTH
