The Spreader Bar set up is a great change for handling, if your on a budget. The 460 % front springs & the 360 # rear with the sway bars are The first thing to do. The Borg power box is the next change, that will change a lot of handling problems with the 1982. The heim joint struts, stop any movement of the alignment, while driving on rough roads. But you need to have a stable ( rebuilt suspension ) to begin with, for all of it to help driving conditions. The A-arms & the Borg box, being changed, gave me the most change at high speeds. Stopped all the wandering. Bilstens H. D. shocks on all four corners are a great addition to get started. It's only taken me eight years to find out all these things. LOL No complaints, I love both my Corvettes. Have a great time. Gene
