http://www.seriesoneperformance.com/ its hard to find performance parts for the series 1 or the M62 but a scanner (OBD I or II depending on when in 95 it was made) smaller pulley, 180* t-stat, 1 range colder plugs, good summer tires, and some monroe sensotrac shocks will give you a start.

theres not much hope for the handling. these cars were made more for looks and luxury. they arent very good around turns because of the long wheel base. my 92 bonneville will handle circles around my 95 riv

not quite true. you can get Ford F-250 rancho shocks for the rear. That is supposed to help handling tremendously. There is a guy on regalgs that auto-x'ed a rivi and was keeping up with corvettes and mustangs.

agree'd but i dont recall if it will work on the 95's rear suspension. i think his was on a 97 riviera.
