got shocks?

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

honestly i would do poly sway bushings up front before anything else. any 
other bushings up front as well. i noticed an incredible difference in body 
roll when redoing all front bushings on mine (and i still had factory 
bushings on the rear sway). i would say the front bushing swap cut my body 
roll in half, while i can still slightly lift the inside rear in hard 
cornering.
