bluliz Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 If you're your after better handling try some decent tyres, something like Michelin Exaltos, they make the world of difference over budgets etc. Keep the wheels at 15" and leave the suspension standard. But this is just my opinion.

scottybo Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 if you lower the car, the ride will be harder, ive got some cheapy gmax springs with pi shocks on mine and to be honest i would say its still really comfortable, yeh if ur on a bad road i do get bounced all over but in general its pretty decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
