Hi all!

Deffe from Sweden here, I'm planing to spend a few bucks on the roadhandling.

I got an 200SX (S13) -91' European car (it's the one with CA18DET as standard).

Here is a few pics of the car:http://www.the-webhost.com/200sx/

What I now want to do is to upgrade the handling for my car and I like to ask you all since it is so extremly expencive to buy the stuff here in sweden if you could help me out with a budget package of what I need to get the car to be able to take the corners better then what it does today.

I don't know the english "words" for the stuff I need and that's pretty much why I am not fully sure what to search for :rolleyes

I saw alot of stuff on eBay that was praising itself to be extremly good stuff for handeling and such but since the price was just a bit higher then what a BicMac costs ..... well I doubt that it can be worth it then?

What can I get for a lowbudget?

I am not looking for the best of the best.. but at least something good that for sure improves the handeling and prevents the rear from passing by me *grr*

Btw. I found a "shopping list" from a guy who just recently posted here:

Will he be able to realy feal the improvements with those upgrades?

There is a track here in sweden called "Superstage" wich is basicly like an S track, all the way.. Corners and such, I made it through it in 1,42Min and I like to improve it alot and get below 1,35 at least.

You say "stuff" a lot.

Cheapest thing would be springs/shocks, and all new bushings. Its not cheap, but its the best bang for the buck I guess you could say.

RS-R makes really stiff springs, KYB makes good shocks...thats just opinion though.

Sway bars would be the next thing on the list...I guess.
