Oh, I'm not worring about making my bug in to a race car, just a street terror! I want to stike fear into all those hondas and mustangs!

I hear ya! I want the same for my car too. These characteristics apply on the street and the track. The street you want a susp. that will perform but you want to keep a comfy ride too. As for brand names, research and find what's best for you and your budget. I'm using Bugpack swaybars, Koni shocks and Maxx struts w/Koni's inthe front. I'm also usind a Topline front upper tie-bar and possibly a rear KC brace. Tires I'm running Bridgestone Potenza S-03's. I've driven the car with the swaybars and Koni's, minus the Maxx's I had springs, and the front tie-bar. The car handled awesome. It should handle even better with my wider wheel and tire combo, cage and possibly rear brace. As for your shimmie problem.... FIRST!! start with the basic maintainence parts like your idler arm bushing, steering rack, tie-rods, ball joints.....etc......etc.....etc. Then start modifying. You can go to Topline's site
www.toplineparts.com or call Jon @ Topline. He'll be more than happy to help you and suggest some remidies.
