Why half ass something?
Just because you dont have a LS1 doesnt mean your car doesnt make a good amount of tq! My 98 V6 on the stock motor with headers, flowmaster, and lid made 215rwtq! That means its making around 250ish tq at the motor!! Not to shabby!
What are you planning on doing to your car? Its not that hard to make your car perform better! More air, more fuel and a tune and you have more power! Better suspension mods and your car will handle the power better! Thats it! Hell most of the mods you do to a stock motor will net you better gas miles then the car came with. Oil coolers are a good idea when you start to make alot more power but like you said your car isnt a V8 so there is no need for aftermarket LCA's! If this is the case then why need a tranny cooler and duel oil filter system?

1) You are 100% wrong - I don't "beat the piss out of " my car. The reason you "don't get it" is because you make incorrect assumptions.
2) The car performs fine. I have no interest in boosting the hp any more than the 15-20 hp its been boosted by the existing mods. I don't want NOS, turbo, or cam.
3) The moog bushings fixed the problem, and cost less than a set of control arms with rubber bushings, and don't cause suspension bind.
4) I don't want poly bushings.
