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?

well, I see what you're saying, but since you have more grip in the back, when you corner hard you're front tires will lose their grip before the rear tires and you'll understeer. with grippier tires up front, and less grippy ones in the back, that would promote more oversteer, right?
