hey... jst wondering what people would recommend for improving the suspension on my stock 98 RS?

I mostly want to imporve it's off-road capabilities.
I find myself venturing into the mountains and onto washboard,
dirt/rock roads a good bit. It does ok as it is now but I feel like
I'm pushing it sometimes...and want to make sure my suspension
can EAT IT UP no probs...

any way to get a little more clearance as well?

 

For "eating up washboards with no problems" I would say go with DMS rally lengths. Major $$$ but well worth it. If you don't go to a coilover with 50mm+ inverted heavy duty struts, it's not gonna live long on gravel roads. On the other hand, you can do about 8 sets of KYB AGXs with Ground Control coilover sleeves for the price of the DMS' which have to be periodically rebuilt.
