I own 2005 Ti Grey GT excellent shape 35K. Car runs pretty much perfect and just did my post winter wheel alignment check and all is well. I run +1 sized 18" CONTI Extreme DWS All Seasons as I live in NYC and drive all year long, even in the snow. I drive daily on the street and local freeways and sometimes go upstate for some 'canyon carving" in the mountains. No track driving, just some rather "spirited' street driving. Thinking about possibly doing some Auto X.

QUESTION: IF I keep the original OEM suspension which I understand are basically coil overs, without going aftermarket, is there anything I can do with current OEM equipment to prevent nose diving ( which is minimal anyway) and body roll when corning using the current OEM equipment.I should add the current suspension has not been touched since I bought the car in 05 and is still in excellent condition.

I am using OEM brakes with carbon pads so she stops on a dime but I ve been thinking of replacing the front rotors as they do take a beating ( and are a tad worn) or possibly a big break kit up front . Again I'm not to track the car, but I would like better handling with what I have if possible, with minimal add ons and tweaks to suspension.

THANKS TO ALL IN ADVANCE.

Firstly to reduce the nose dive u can go with stiffer springs which reduces the compression of the shock body under hard braking. While an aftermarket colorer system is a great upgrade as long as u buying quality stuff will give u the a ton of adjustability options, stock shocks with suffer springs will get u along for street driving. As far as braking in concerned stock braking system is pretty good just upgrade pads some street/race compound and some steel braided lines and u should be good enough. I currently run brembos bbk upfront and they are outstanding since I'm running over 300whp but not needed if u running stock power.
I live in Brooklyn if u ever wanna meet up.lmk pm me if u need help
