So my 95 GT vert with 103K miles on it already has a "harsh" ride that highlights how crappy Huntsville roads are. Every pothole is bone-jarring. I play slalom driving around town.
I'd like to rebuild the front suspension with quality components but don't want to make the suspension even harder.
I'm going to replace lower ball joints, rack and pinion (it leaks), sway bar linkage bushings, sway bar bushings, and struts.
What material should I choose for bushings?
I'd like some quality struts but am not looking for something that makes the suspension even more harsh. I see Koni makes several series of struts but I don't know what to choose.
What do you suggest?
Edit to add: I am not looking to build a race car. I just cruise and occasionally floor it to see how fast I can hit the speed limit. I have a stock ride height and don't plan to change that. So basically, I want to rebuild the OEM suspension with better-than-stock quality parts.
