    Default improve handling?

    Ok, idk how much you guys care about this..but since my car is pretty speedy now, 305whp on 91 octane I kinda to add some handling mods. I already have Buddy Club adjustable coilovers with 5kg springs in the front and 6kg springs in the rear. Other then that...what else is there to do? oh and recently i added the AMS harness bar if that helps at all...(in thinking it will help body roll)

    oh and obviously tires help but im not referring to that aspect of things.

    ok guys....question...after a lot of reading...i noticed that all the trunk/ rear suspension strut bars and all trunk bar and the sway bar... makes your cars back end come out easier...why would i want that?

    I know you said in your post that you didn't want to talk about tires, but I'll still ask anyways: what tires are you using?

    First you should make a list of what you dont like about your cars behavior. Decide what is your requirement from the chassis and where it fails to meet your requirements. For instance, if on turn in she has heavy understeer it may be corrected by not just suspension but a few driving style arrangements as well. Yes you can add a roll bar in the rear , but how stiff ? how much grip you want to remove and at what cost? what if the car stays side ways more then it needs to and you will loose time. what are the road condition you encounter every day, do you really want a stiff rear end on a bumpy road? So as you can see this is not just a matter of adding parts. PM me or call me and I will help you with what I can.
