Skip---thanks. Good advice all around. Here's what it sounds like.

I have the 17" wheels and the car, on the highway is really straight and true at any speed through 100 anyway. Not a shake or issue. I will go to an alignment shop and get it done so I know what everything is set at. We have a hunter balancer down the road so I'll do that too. That's good money spent, I figure, but I don't think that's the problem since it drives well at high speed.

Next step will be to check out spring/shock combinations...or maybe they're thought of separately, choose a spring set, then choose a shock. Seems like there must be some good road combo for the rough road northeast but I'm not sure what that would be. The bilsteins seem like racing shocks so it seems like the wrong move. Don't know what the other choices are. Anyone? Koni make something that works well? Springs? I'll but the updated ones on unless I hear other choices for street.

And how about the steering wheel movement up/down by 1/4 inch? That usual?

Then, when that's done, if it shudders still, I'll look into frame stiffening. Is John the only one who has done this?

Thanks,
Tom
