well for starters, performance springs and shocks/struts would help improve your handling. of course bushing upgrades or bigger sway bars contribute also. have you checked out re-speed.com they have a lot of products and info for suspension and steering

yup i pretty have my mind set on what i'm going to do for the handle and most of it will come from re-speed...but idk what i was going to do with performance....i was thinking engine swap like to a 13b with a turbo or something along those lines but idk whats better

I was about to say the same thing. That car looks minty fresh, it would be better to keep it that way and just get a shell to put the 13bT in.

Very nice car!! If you have the exhaust and header already you should look into a Sterling carb. A clean car like that with a fresh 12A there is no point in swaping in a 13B just my 2 cents!

I have an identical car. Tender Blue 85 GS - stock except for RB muffler. One other thing I did was swap in a gray set of SE seats because they have the extra "recline" option that helps when you're tall. Motor has about 229K miles and starting to leak coolant but I have a ported S4 motor all rebuilt and ready to transplant when she finally blows. My intention is to keep the exterior and interior stock with my only upgrades under the covers.
