Whats it going to take to get rid of some of the suspension mushyness in my GTO? I was thinking about getting a new Front Strut bar and maybe a rear sway bar? would that help with some of the mushyness? Or would Pedders No Drop Springs in the rear be better? Any info would be great

I hear wonderful things about the Pedders stuff but have not done anything to my goat yet. That is next on my list! Wink

is it mushy while you turn? or just mushy while you drive straight?  And we dont use any strut bars on ours.  other than the stock bracing that is.

An 04 STI suspension will bolt up OK with the right tophats, but you will not have favorable camber using sedan struts on a wagon.

Honestly, youre probably better off getting aftermarket struts and aftermarket springs made for a wagon to avoid saggy butt syndrome. Youll end up with much better components and if price is a concern you can usually find them for cheap in the classifieds.

What are you talking about? This is not an STI we are dealing with here!  Huh
