I had same problem. I thought that my GLX VR6 was taking corners better then G. But what actually hapens is: When you take a corner on a G you roll istead of the G and it feels like G has too much body roll. But try to compare the other car at the same speed and you'll see that it is not the G rolling it's you inside the G being forced to the opposide direction of the turn and it feels like G is about too loose it, Just keep ur VDC on and step on it

haha...so for the most part, Im just gonna have to play around with the settings on my sway bars. Dont get me wrong, the G corners very good, its just that I dont feel the car is "tight" enough. I dont think its an alignment issue, the car only has 1,800 miles on it.

I'm not tracking the car or anything, I just occasionally like to go around an exit ramp quickly for fun. Ok, heres the whole story of "Why" I started this thread. I used to own an '01 maxima with JIC coilovers, f/r upper strut tower bars, & rear lower sway bar running 19x8 wheels 235/35 tires. There is one particular exit ramp that i take every morning on my way in to work, that I used to take at 68 mph confidently in the maxima. well....in the G I could only go 56-57 mph. The car isnt understeering. If anything, If I were to continue to push, I feel the rear end would wash out under me. Im not stranger to rear-wheel drive either. I also own a vortech blown mustang.

it doesn't matter if the car has 1,800 miles on it. U changed the ride height and u have a fuked up alignment.
BTW when taking a corner, if the tires don't make any nosie u have a lot more room to go.
