um...are you talking about camber kits so you'll reduce wear on your tires or are you talking about improving handling with strut bars and sway bars? :thinking:

well, i definitely want to improve handling...im just saying that the better it gets the faster im taking corners and the more wear im putting on my tires (to the edge of squealing them)...so im not sure if im gonna get the bars at all (to save my tires)...but ill probably just say "f*ck it" cause i love to go fast

i suggest you dont take corners at 60mph. learn how to drive first.


as for improving handling...go with a sway bar setup.

ohhhh i see, if you push your tires its gonna wear out faster then driving normal. soo improving handling you could take those turns faster. sway bars would help with body roll while strut bars reduce the car from flexing when turning. you can get an ITR rear sway bar cost about 70 from dealer but then you'll need the hardware, search the forum for specifics. and any strut bar will do.

90% or the strut bars out there are exactly the same IMO. You can spend little cash on a bar and recieve a product that does that same thing as an expensive one. Not looking at too much money roughly 30-80 dollars!

Definately do what the others are tell you here if you really want to tighten things up
