need some help making my 2.3 handle
 
Well this is the first time I've ever posted in this forum...so Hi. Well I'm thinking about kicking the handling of my 2.3 up a notch or two. Here's what I'm planing on doing:

Turbine rims(found em cheap)
5.0 springs
5.0 sway bars
home-made sub-frame connectors
home-made strut tower brace

As you can see I'm on a pretty small bugget(Thank God my dad welds for a living:D). Do any of you guys know of any other cheap mods I could do or make? Would boxing my control arms help?

I figure with the lighter 2.3 up front instead of a 5.0, it should handle pretty good.

Subframes are a GREAT idea.

The springs are a good idea, if you determine what rate you have now, sincec the GT springs are 420-530variable rate. Most "street" springs are stock +10%. (dont know what 4-cyl springs are).

Look up www.racerwalsh.com . They ahve a lot of 4-banger mods.
