Well im starting to think about this winters project(s) and one thing Id like to do is improve ride quality/handeling. Now heres the rub I dont really wany to drill or weld if I can avoid it. So what is my best bag for the buck. I have seen alot of sway bar kits (it seems as most require modifications). There are also alot for suspension rebuild kits that come with all of the ball joints, etc. So where would I expect to see the most improvement? Thanks....
suspension questions?

Springs and shocks will make it feel like a different car, a good quality rebuild will only add to the tight feel.

I bought a stage two steering gear from Firm Feel. It's a great addition.I highly recommend it.

Yep. Did the same thing on the Swinger. I bought mine from Steer & Gear in Colombus - they are MoPar specialists. Great upgrade on a street car.

Edelbrock shocks
a bearing kit for the pitman arm, stiffens that area up. Mopar Action just did an article this fll on the kit. Firm Feel makes it now.
New parts to replace the worn stuff. Get high quality stuff.
T bars as mentioned.
The improved design rear shackles are nice. Just Suspension sells them I think. Takes to slop out during hard cornering.
Tightening up your manual box adjustment really helps if it has much play at all.
Sway bars are worth a look, as are subframe connectors.
16 x 8 wheels will fit these cars. They don't look too ghetto and might get you into some decent tires that will help the game out.
