if you get some grippy yokohamas, toyos, kuhmos, or falkens. If you want the ultimate the falken azenis are gumballs, that should help your cornering.

you should look into some tokico illuminas or koni yellows like I said before I cant ride my s-techs without adjustable dampening shocks and I couldn't imagine riding stock shocks with them (way too soft 4 my taste)

I keep my shocks set at 5 all the time on my illuminas

dont goof around :roy: get some new koni yellows :thumbsup:
can you adjust the koni yellows without having to go under the car and manually doing it? like having an EDFC or whatever its called?

well, its for everyday driving. i take some nice curves on the way to work, and i want them to last, im also tryin to get them for cheap (hence the Nexxen tires)


it seems that the majority of you guys reccomend koni yellows. i'll definately look into them for the future because right now, money is tight.

well if you want handling you have to pay to play. I rock the yokohama avs es 100s and they are a reasonably priced agressive tire with a some what decent tread wear. $500 for 4 pretty gripp tires are worth it IMO. you'll be able to attack those corners without fear.

well, its not really the grippyness im worried about, its the body roll. but thanks for pointing that out.

i was thinkin along the lines of a front sway bar? would that reduce body roll at all?

i have a 19mm rear sway bar, should i go bigger?

i was thinkin about the inexpensive things to boost the suspension, but ill be lookin into the koni yellows for the future.

get thicker rear sways and get the front. It reduces body roll. Do you have a front strut bar?

you wont need to go under the car to adjust the dampening all you would need to do is pop the hood turn the adjustment knobs on the top of the strut. pop the rear seat pop (trunk access) out the peice of plastic trim to access the other adjustment knob and turn to your desired setting

konis are expensive but well worth it from what I hear they are better than the illuminas I am riding on

no front strut, i kind of dont really want one either. but i think im goin to go with koni yellows as soon as i get money. and maybe after that ill get a front sway bar. but jus by reading the positive posts about the koni yellows, there prolly wont be a need for a front sway.

thanks everyone for your replies!
