Hey guys, appreciate some help to improve on my Yr 2002 - A33 handling and road holding. Currently running on stock absorbers & coils.

1. Body seems to be bobbing from one side to the other especially when going over bumps.
2. Steering seems to be having to much "free movement".
3. Rattling noise from my rear absorbers, esp when going over bumps.

I'm trying to improve on my handling, any advise on what type of absorbers and coils to go for? Would this car handle better if I used lowered coils? Also would it be advisable to go for lowered or adjustable absorbers? Wat are the pros & cons?

The stock APM absorber was so so lousy the moment it was out from factory. I didn't notice until I replace all 4 of them after 6 years of lousy ride with tokico MADE IN JAPAN ones. I was so happy with it, it goes over bump so smoothly like never before.

Steering ah... I just got the tie rod and rack end replaced. The stock ones was cheapo quality. I replaced them with 555 brand which is very much cheaper and better.

I currently have a Mercedes w124 e220. It's inactive due to so many problems collected along the years. I'm trying to find a good workshop to do engine conversion. Planning to fit a 1jz in it as I heard it's powerful and easier to maintain compared to rb25. Will have to consideregister changing the brakes too. Suspension has been changed, currently using bilstein absorbers and eibach springs.

So i'm looking for a good workshop that converts engines and does a beautiful job. Need advise.
