Ok i've heared everyone talk about how for about 2 grand you can drastically improve the handling of your vehicle... well I saved up a little more than that and I have a stock ST that I'd like to fix up in terms of handling... so what should I do? i already hav a CF hood making the car a little lighter but can anyone point me in the right direction as to what else i should look to buy or do?

OTS Koni Yellow - 650
OTS Ground Control - 400 [Custom if you prefer, but only if you have good calculations] ST Sway Bars Upgraded End Links Front Strut Bar of Choice [NO Ebay] GT4 Rear Strut Bar or any 3PT Rear Strut Bar [NO Ebay] 16x7-7.5 with proper offset, keep them under 15LB 215/45/16 Falken Azenis 615s Agressive Alignment. An example would be 2.6F 1.6R [on my 00 GTS] That should improve your handling dramatically. |
