Folks,

Over the weekend I installed a 23 mm front sway bar and 19 mm rear sway bar on my 1992 245 (Cost $25). The goal was to improve the handling at minimal cost and try to get the wagon to handle as well as an original turbo wagon. I must admit that the whole process took me longer than it probably should have (about 4 hours), but I learned a lot and feel that I can easily replace the rear shocks or springs now. I'm glad I also got to use my new air compressor and air ratchet.

The end link bushings look a little tired, so I hope to upgrade to some poly ones before the end of the summer. Overall the car seems to roll less in corners. I have 15 inch Virgo rims and 205 65/15 Goodyear Regatta2 (sp) tires.

Any suggestions for other budget conscious upgrades?
