Okay so have a 96 cobra with H&R sport springs and MM cc plates car seems to need front Struts (bottoming out). I Drive this car Hwy a lot and am wanting some good suspension. Have tokicos on rear. Are swaybars worth upgrading? Also what MM rack bushings? I see an all metal kit and another that has rubber bushings.

The solid steering rack bushings from MM are a no brainer. They make a huge difference.
The rear oem swaybar is very prone to snapping.

Some time zone
upgrade the struts and shocks. Koni STR.T or Bilstein HD.

Also, Check all the bushings on the control arms (front, rear uppers, rear lowers, on the diff housing), for any tears/play.
And balljoints and tierods to make sure everything is good/tight.

Front should be good except the struts. New control arms and ball joints added before I got her.

If you can, install the solid rack bushings, give it a few days then do the steering shaft. I'd like to hear of the improvement with the shaft.

I've had one on my car for years. 100% worth it. If I ever got another car down the road it is probably one of the first things I would do.
