Best way of improving high speed cornering stability?
Firstly I do know that the best modification is driver skill, second being tires, third being alignment. One of the reasons why I don't plan on doing any power modifications until my driving level improves.
I do enjoy the stock ride height and my city roads are quite bumpy. I would though like something more stable and stiff during cornering at high speeds, I frequent driving through the rocky mountains. What areas can be improved upon the most to reach this goal? Chassis stiffening (tower or underbody brace), sway bars, or springs/dampers? Would sway bars with oem dampers/springs offer the most improvement? Or would aftermarket dampers/springs with the OEM sway bar offer the most improvement? Currently I have 35k on my oem dampers. |
Shocks.
Koni Sports. OEM dampers are ok. But the Koni's are way better. Especially with the miles. |
just got konico D specs in today. I'll let you know how they feel when I put them in.

Are those a new hybrid brand? do you mean Koni or Tokico D Specs? If your roads are bumpy I would recommend the Tokicos as you can adjust them to softer than stock and then adjust them up to about where the Konis are. I have the konis and think they are great but they are definitely rougher on the bumps. |
Another vote for upgrade in damper. Either Koni or D-Spec.
My Koni set are at 50% front, 25% rear and the ride is close to stock, yet the improvement in rebound and overall control is much better than stock. |
konico, its a merger.
haha. |

How you tune ur car/suspension really depend on what you want it to do for you, also what kind of road/track you will drive on....
in two yrs, i did over 20 alignments. I need to tune it as my driving skill move up, also need to tune it as per the track i drive on, and of coz tune it after i upgrade my suspensions. What kind of "high speed" are you talking about? 160+ km/h corners? |
