worn suspension advice
I just purchased a 99FRC with 47000 miles and it seems the suspension is not as tight as other cars with less miles I have owned. Any ideas on what is the first thing to wear on these cars, shocks, control arm bushings et

Leaky shocks are a definite possibility.
When were the tires made? Old run-flat tires will definitely make the suspension feel sloppy. They have very stiff sidewalls and hard compound to begin with and as they age they just get harder.

I have a 99 also and it had about 50k miles on it when I bought it. Shocks were completely worn out. So replaced with Bilsteins and up graded sway bars plus metal end links. What a difference! So much better!
