Is there any thing else I should consider for better handling?

[definitiveno]

I have already a pair of koni yellows with ground control coil set. The spring rates are 500/350 f/r. I also have a set of ebay strut bars on it front and back. The car handles very sharply, like rails as it's most commonly compared as and It is a little rough for my taste but livable.

Now I have never pushed the car to it's limits of pushing the front end or kicking the rear yet, but I am curious if there is any thing that can offer balance or traction before I try to push it in the corners.

I also have a brand new set of g-force KDW 18/45/245 on it so those should be good to me.

And my car is down for a little while longer so I am asking before it is up and running again.

You camn always upgrade sway bars.

polyurethane bushings help too. But you won't really know what you need to do to your car until you get used to the way it handles. From there you can experiment with adjusting your struts, alignment, etc to make it handle the way you want. "Tuning" your setup and improving your driving skills will make a bigger difference then just throwing together every suspension upgrade you can think of.

Until you learn the limits and how it responds to your driving style I wouldn't throw any more parts at it. The safest place to test this is at the track. If you haven't swapped the rear swaybar yet that's an option, but then again, you might not need to. You could find that you need stiffer rear springs, but you won't know for sure until you do some more testing and tweaking. Alignment specs will prove to be big as well. You might want to see what other 2G guys are doing for that. Poly bushings are great too but are a little stiff on the street. Push the car to the limit first.

And most importantly, your changes will depend on how you plan to use the car - street only? Street/some track? Mostly track? If you're going to drive it on both you'll likely have to sacrifice a little handling for streetability.

I hope that's a typo, because those are huge tires.

woops, they are 40's not 45. Thanks, I kind of figured ludachris. The car is just a street car and I will wait and see how the car feels once it's running and reassess at a later time.

Thanks again
