Welcome to the forums!

What do you have for springs at the moment? Stock setup or lowered already? Do you have any suspension changes at all?

Thanks, just not enuf grunt....yet :)

Anyways, how many k's has your car done? The shocks could be dying which would make the problem worse than it should be.

These would certainly help and make the car sit at a better height. Adding a rear swaybar will also help your cornering along with the added advantage of making the rear just a little stiffer again.

Shocks would help you more than anything else since the BJ2 1.8s have cruddy shocks, so just changing springs and swaybars would make the car stiff and bouncy. Eibach are my favourite springs, and Tokico HP are my favourite shocks for the BJ. Although ppl tend to just get KYB replacement shocks, but you can get the Tokicos off eBay for the same price. Oh, and your shocks get even worse as they do get older and wear out... :(
