I have officially lost it. I am building Project Minivan Of Mass Destruction, and I can't stop. I need to have the most bad-ass minivan in the world.

Therefore, we need to do something about the Mount Jello suspension system.

Does anyone have suggestions for a subtle lowering and a substantial firming of the Caravan suspension? I know the fronts can have Konis from a Daytona put in. The rears have Konis available, and I will put sway bars in.

What about the rear springs? i was wondering if there was a HD leaf spring (from a towing package perhaps?) and having them de-arched.

Another thought was airbags.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
