Greetings,
I have an 85 240GL with all original suspension components.. even the shocks are original factory items. Whilst this has been very cost effective in it's 18 years of glory, it leaves the car very soggy, creaky and dare i say unsafe! The big question is, what do i do first? i dont have a huge budget as i am a poor, poor uni student, but i want to improve the general handling and appearance.

I have a few ideas/components in mind:

Set of lowered (30mm), stiffer King Springs - AU$350 the lot
Monroe Shocks - roughly AU$300
Poly Bushings $???

Am i barking up the wrong tree?? Thanks in advance,
Chris.
