I was wondering what I could do to my 2004 chev optra suspension its too soft. Also what can I do to the motor mounts these are also soft the motor moves around quite a bit more than I like too much wheel hop.!

the only things you can do are either springs and shocks or possibly nolethane bushings. Replacing the rubber bushings with nolethane ones in ym commodore made the cars handling much tighter, im not sure if they stiffen anything up though

strut tower bars, bushings, motor mount bushings, get coil-overs if you can (or better struts i guess)

PM tom at 360dynamics and ask him if he can get anything. He has springs in stock which help ALOT. If its just during accelerating then the springs will make a big difference.. if its during cornering your problem is the major body roll our car has.

Tom can probably get alot of things for the suspension other than springs the only reason he doesnt let everyone know is because they're expensive... so if your willing to spend alittle extra money instead of waiting im sure you can get more things.
