My lude has 4WS. Aside from the uaual springs and shocks, what can I do to the rear of my car as far as suspension goes? I already know I can't have a lower tie bar.

you lucky fuck...
got a 4gen with aws...

rare in the states...

i'm sure you can upgrade your sway bar in the rear...

what else are you looking to do?

Eh, it's probably not as rare as you think. I have a friend who has the exact same car, and while looking for mine, found another with 4WS. I haven't really seen anybody else with it though.

I'm just looking to get the car to ride good while going through the twisties. Minimal body roll, yet nice ride quality. Something for mountain touring. Something to handle the H22a after I do the swap.

the rear steer on your car alone should be pretty good on the twisties, and other than swapping the springs/struts, and putting a sway bar on... there's not much else to be done...

rear strut tower bar, but that's almost mandatory...

anything else is custom....

if you're looking for adjustable control arms or something crazy, the shop i go to here builds that type of stuff... he's got a turbo h23 in his 93 lude... and he's building custom adj. control arms for it...

Well i'm pretty sure I can't have a rear sway, and I know about the upper strut. I'll just put the car on the lift and see what I can do. My grandfather is a machinist and does custom aluminum work, so maybe I'll pay him a visit. Thanks for the info though.

BTW: where's slick located at?
