Default Handling

A fairly vauge question, however if you could answer as best you can that would be great. I have a DA, but I'm toying with the idea of moving up to the DC chassis.

With generally the same amount of modifications, what chassis will handle better?

Stock DA's have a thicker rear sway bar than the newer DC chassis. Having owned both a DA & DC at the same time, the handling characteristics are similar. The DA felt more responsive to me, but not by much. That may have been due to the fact that my DA was an RS, so it was very light compared to the heavier DC SE.

There is more aftermarket support for the newer DC so you will have a much wider range of options to choose from if you decide to modify the shocks/springs/etc...

Thanks for the response. I have a 90 LS and will hopefully be moving up to a GSR. All that is done to the LS suspension wise is Ksport coilovers and Falken 512 tires, and it handles pretty decently, it's comforting to know the newer heavier tegs will do just as well.
