Re: Suspension upgrades?

The KYBs are a good choice over Monroes. They will firm up everything. I'd replace any strut mounting hardware/bushings that looks questionable. Also, check the strut coil spring height. New struts will be worthless if the coil springs are worn out. The polyurethane stabilizer bushings may not help the basic ride but will improve the cornering and curve handling. Regals are soft in this area. Another suggestion is to install a strut/body brace in the trunk area between the struts. Similar to the one you have stock mounted between the front strut towers.
