Description: We addressed the front end suspension by changing the spring rate, camber, and damping using parts made for other cars. Now we focus on fixing the rear suspension, and address some of the struggles of keeping an un-popular, rare economy car on the road. This is part 2 of a series intended to try to find traction in a FWD import. The fixes are every bit as much of a learning experiment for me as they are for everyone else here. I'm pretty sure nobody has followed my particular approach to these issues. It's because nobody else is crazy enough to put 400hp in a 4-door nearly-3-decade-old Elantra. No performance parts exist for this chassis unless they're designed for something else and just happen to fit it.
