- My first idea is to trade the accord before it starts to lose value
- and get a nice new taurus, the sho if you can swing it...
- Dont like that idea??...hmmmmmm

- Well I think your best bet would be to replace all 4 struts with
- top quality kyb or bilsteins or even monroe or gabrial but if you
- get kyb, or monroe and gabrials get the high performance ones.
- There are higher rate springs out there, but I think the new struts
- will give a good improvement...
- there are lots of anti roll bars out there in the pages of car
- magazines, and at your friendly local import car part store...same
- place you get the struts from...A rear bar might help a bit, but
- a larger front one might do more to help...try the struts first imho...
- ...there is a super high performance dodge intrepid rumored to be
- in the pipeline...
