Stage 1: Street
- High Performance Tires
The single, most effective upgrade you can do.
- Swaybars
Larger swaybars will help reduce roll without decreasing ride quality in the turns.
- Strut bars
Strut bars will help reduce body flex and will tighten up the car's chassis.
- Springs
Stiffen up the supsension and lower the center of gravity with performance springs.
- Shocks
Further tune and stiffen the suspension with adjustable high performance shocks.
- Rotor upgrade
All 90-92 DSMs have smaller brake rotors and calipers than the 93+ AWD cars. Swapping out your smaller rotors and calipers for these larger units is a good idea - you can even upgrade to aftermarket rotors at the same time.
- Brake pads
Shorten your stopping distance with some higher friction pads.
