Base 300 Suspension

Just wondering what are some good upgrades to do to "stiffen" up the stock suspension a bit.

Does anyone know what is different between the 300C, Touring , and base ?

If a C really feels better wouldnt the parts be interchangable ?

...

I'm not positive but I highly doubt the C shocks wouldn't fit the base model. I could be wrong but to make it different would cost money. Call any of the supporting shops from here and ask them, the parts book should say what all the shocks fit. Odds are the C just has better shocks stock but the same underlying setup. But be warned before you start on this road. Once you put good shocks or shocks/sways on the bushing deterioration and ripping will begin if you drive hard. I just got done with about 30 hours of bushing installation and tool manufacturing to facilitate removing/replacing alot of them. Modding is a great joy but be aware of the road you are headed down. My car was a beast for a while and then just kept going downhill. Now she's a beast again in the turns but at a cost of money and time...
