airjordan223 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 if you want to improve the handleing go with some anti-sway bars. also is the car lowered at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Strut bars are probably the last suspension mod to get better handling. THe best would be (in this order) Shocks Springs w/ custom rates Sway Bars Corner Weighting Adjustable lower Control Arms Strut Bars That's my opinion and I have a little bit of experience with suspension setups.

airjordan223 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 what exactly is corner weighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 what exactly is corner weighting Corner weighting (aka Corner balancing) is where they set your car on 4 scales (one under each wheel/tire) and adjust your coilovers height to give the best possible balance to the car. They balance it diagonally which will really improve the handling. Ideally the car should have 50% of its weight on the Left Front and Right Rear tires, and 50% on the Right Front and Left Rear.

airjordan223 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 skunk2 is pretty good, but there are definitely better ones out there. check out eibach tokico omni-power tein neuspeed ground control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm planning on using Eibach springs, with KYB shocks. Depends on whether you want a daily driver ride, or an aggressive ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastresort576 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 for the price you CANNOT go wrong with PIC's they're considered better than the yellow/GC combo, which that combo has nothing to do with GC just eibach and koni...its not hard for a co. to make spring perches and sleeves... also to add to the corner weighting bit. you want the vehicle to be corner weighted with you in the drivers seat, and set up for you will be using it mostly for...EG: if you auto-x have it track ready with it empty of everything including the spare tire which would be the ideal/correct way to corner weight a vehicle.
