Possible suspension upgrade'*?
My bonnie rides nice right now, but it could be better of course.
So I was wondering other than doing a factory upgrade with the sse springs and stuff,
what else could I do to pep up the handling?
Is it possible to use suspension parts for later years like 92-99 or 00-05?

On your 90, it'* very likely the 92-99 front sway will bolt right up. Not sure about the back. Other than that.. I can't think of much that can be swapped or even to swap if parts were available.

Strut tower bars will also immensely improve handling, especially in conjunction with anti-sway bars. You can usually make these yourself. Most people have noticed a very big difference after installing one in the rear, which as I understand these cars don't come with.

I noticed a big diff with the one in the front so I can only imagine how much one in the rear would help

In case anyone comes back here. The front and rear sway bars will fit. The threaded holes are even there for rhe screws. The sprigs will interchange . You have to change the entire front strut though. I recently put SSEI frt struts and sway bars. I have the rear springs but they look exactly the same. The fronts made a big diff in ride quality. Firmer nicer ride than before. Used new stock rubber bushings. Thinking i should have pulled the rear air ride at the u-pull. Maybe i will. The front did come up a little and the Eighty Eight sits level now.

PURPLEXJ, I fixed your image code so it would show. You must use the Photobucket tags that start with [img] and end in [/img] for them to show on the Forum.
