Do our cars SUCK cornering in the mountains, or do I suck at driving? :(

**machinegunsquid** · 03-24-2013

Took my GTP up to the dragon (US-129/Deal's Gap) a few weeks ago.

New LCAs, lowered with anti-pogo washers, and 245/45-18s. No swaybar upgrades, no strut tower braces. It handled great. Not nearly as well as our 2G eclipse, but I never had 1 moment of doubt with the car. No wheel spin (even in 75% throttle through the gravity cavity)

I attribute most of this to being lowered and slightly wider, brand new tires.

This is all I did. Lowered + Bigger sticky tires and I take on ramps rated for 40 at 95 with no issues.

same. get rid of the stock struts and springs and make sure all your bushings are good. I have 18's with 245,50,18 tires. imo the biggest improvement is straight line stability tho, the car just burns up the highway and can keep up with cars that cost 3x as much
