Re: better handling (tyco)
It would be a good idea to fix your tweaked rear wheel first. That may make a world of difference right there. Along with nice suspension upgrades a good wheel and tire package will work wonders

Re: better handling (integralactic)
i say a thicker sway bar... I bought a suspension techniques sway bar/tie bar kit but I've heard good things about just a JDM itr rear sway bar and a subframe reinforcement kit

205/50/15 tires in the front and 195/55/15 tires in the back. some mag (i think car and driver or something) said this.
but i would just do a rear sway bar upgrade which will be less than 200.

Re: (Spectrum24x)
to the orginal post... unless your camber is really fawked it shouldnt affect your sharp turns too much.. in all honesty it might be your driving...
For the longest time i was dissapointed in my car b/c i couldnt make turns like my friend did in his hatchback when my suspension was similar to his.. after a few weeks i learned it was my driving, the way i was entering the corners and exiting.. my throttle techniques etc..

Re: (depeche_mode)
Kinda tough to explain but ill do my best...
basically whenever i was going into sharp right hand turns i would kinda just throw my car into the turn.... took me a while to realize you need to down shift and brake before you get to the turn, and hold a steady throttle thru the turn, as to keep it hugging the inside...
Does your car have a lot of body roll? what is it about your car that makes you feel like it cant take these sharp turns? does it feel like it slides away from you?

Re: (depeche_mode)
Hm, its a tough subject, someone would almost have to drive a car to be able to say what you need...
I'd say just start upgrading the cheaper stuff untill it gets to where you want it.
btw, DA or DC?
