Yea mines stock. I noticed that when I take my car out its ******* rough, like every little bump I seem to feel, its annoing.
I have no idea what to look for in suspension mods.. right now I could care less, it'll be the last thing I want to upgrade.
1st thing on my checklist is body/engine work.

well you are going to not want poly urithane bushings then if you don't like how stiff the car is now. Also most to all other suspension upgrades including springs and struts/shocks are going to be more stiff than the stock unless on the tokiko and kyb agx you can adjust them to be more comfortable. I have stock suspension right now and hate it! I just got the energy suspension bushing kit and when I build some money back after spending alot on my engine I will get some of thos kyb gr2's that are on ebay for like 215 bucks and some springs from racing beat witch are about 200 as well and have a pretty descent setup for pretty cheap.

my 88 base is all stock down there and I hate it to. Way too old and WAY too soft. The body rolls even on "MasterCraft Avenger GTs", which is not a very sticky tire. I personally will feel defeated until the car manages to pull the inside front tire off of the ground when I accelerate out of the apex of a turn.

Mine's all stock, took it to the track twice, felt great, but too soft and too much body roll, especially with my 225/45/17 FK-451's. Next time I have a lump of cash lying around I'll get the Racing Beat springs and sways, KYB AGX's, Energy Suspension poly bushings, Corksport front and rear strut tower bars and the Mazdaspeed front lower arm bar. That'll be good for stage 1 anyway.

damn.. suspension is the FIRST thing i plan to upgrade. coilovers, to be exact. i dont see how all of you can put all your money into the motor and body and not touch the suspension..
