non tems

Are TEMS worth the price?

Right now, my 87 N/A doesn't handle the curves as well as I think it should. There is a lot of lean (roll?) when going around curves. I don't have a need for speed, but I do like a car that handles well, and I think this one needs improvement. It has 128k miles, so there may be some original parts that need to be replaced. Whats the best way to improve the handling? I'm not sure what benefit a "lowering" kit has.

a lowering kit will help because first of all it lowers the center of gravity in your car and two they usually have stiffer springs with helps reduce body roll or lean as you call it.

Also get new shocks, and maybe stiffer sway bars. Ive seen those for sale. There is a problem with my car where it has a loose upper ball join in the rear and it handles left turns like sh1t

I went for cheap KYB GR-2 shocks (obviously non-tems) and Eibach Pro Kit springs. Car looks great, and handles great

I have never tried TEMS, so I don't know if it's worth it.
