For your information IZSO i may be a newbie but iv been able to pull my engine and engine bay apart and clean it all thanks also theres a couple of rust spots iv cleaned up and repaired so not all newbies are hopeless im teaching myself so i dont have to rely on a mechanic but thanks for the advice.
Does hi/lo adjustable suspension do anything to the stability or change the way the car turns or anything?
I live in Australia so i cant exactly go down to Kelana Jaya n buy parts.
Just so everyone knnows my satria is a 97 GL all stock and no power options (no power steering or anything like that).
Thanks for your advice everyone..

Also my car is unregistered though its completly ready for rego no problems stopping it except money situation that is why im taking the time to teach myself where everything is how it all works and how to fix it.
Its not new or unused either im not sure how many owners its had but it looks fine apart from the bodgy paint job the previous owner did lol they coverd the windows and painted the car with a can of spray paint so im slowly stripping it all back to begin priming and repainting..
As a general rule don't uppercase anything unless you want to give the impression of 'shouting'. So I'd prefer you didn't uppercase my nick, prevent miscommunication yes?
And it's good to know you're not a newbie. Have seen too many "I got a car. How to modify????" threads lately and most have no budget or are too newbie. So let's talk mods! Since you're in Australia, you probably would have access to fantastic metal shops so I'd recommend oversized forged high compression pistons (about 1.5mm larger) and matching slightly longer conrods! (about 2mm longer) As what they say in Aust, "there's not replacement for displacement!"
Since you're in Aust, you probably won't have easy access to a different crank shaft to aide the stroking process. A skimmed head to increase compression and upgrade to 210cc injectors, install a AFPR and that should do the trick for the hardcore DIY for now.
If you have the tools, I'd recommend to get a spare head and do your own PNP and benchflow / sonic flow test it.
Regarding the adjustable suspension, camshaft has pretty much said it all.
