Thanks for the Mod list
Hey, thanks to all those that answered my last thread about "Unseen Mods". Some of the mods listed I wanted to get more information about. Since I want to minimize the "bounce" of my 2004 CE Vert when I am going over a bump and in a turn, I wanted to find out about these mods. It seems like the car is too light, and when I go over a bump and in a turn, the car feels like it is sliding.
Several of the mods suggested included Bilstein Shocks, Bump Steer (I don't know what this is???), Hotchkis sway bars w/Heim joint end links. Will all of these installed, minimize or eliminate the "loosey-goosey" feel I sometimes have with the car?
Also, someone suggested a Procharger with a cold air intake. I don't know what this is. Is this a supercharger?
Please let a newbie know. Thanks.

The Procharger is a supercharger for the car. Big power gain potential there. Good luck with your mods.

If that is the case, that is what is called "bump steer". Adding different shocks and sway bars all can help (though I went with Zo6 and not the really stiff Hotchkis ones) - but the single biggest thing that helped it on my car was getting rid of my Factory tires.
