    Hey guys, I'm not as knowlegable as most on here and was hoping I could get some advice.

    I have an 03 4.2 and I love everythigng about it except for the ride. I want to make some upgrades to increase to handeling and comfort of the ride.

    I'm not a very sporty driver but do want maximum handeling. Mostly tho, I live in a city w/ icey winters and crappy roads and I'm looking for a smoother ride.

    Any suggestions would be mich appreciated! Thanks!

    I know I need to pick up sway bars, any suggestions whiich one and from where?

    If you dont want to lower the car then you can upgrade the shocks. Most go with Bilstein or a Koni shock. I have had both and I prefer Bilstein, but thats up to you. The shocks run about 475 to 500 for a set. When changing the shocks most people put on lowering springs as well, cause you have it all apart and its just easier. The shocks alone will help your ride, but if you are looking for better handling, then I would get a set of swaybars from Hotchkis. I have them and they are incredible for the difference in handling they make.
