will stabilizer make handling heavy??

I want to make my G's handling heavier and I am just curious will stabilizer also make handling heavier?

they say 'Increased handling and cornering grip' and this means more heavy handling?

What is a stabalizer? I have never heard of them for our cars? Do you mean sway bars? They tighten things up and reduce body roll, I am not sure why anyone would want to make a car feel heavy when it comes to handling in most cases people want them to feel more nimble...unless you are pulling a trailer with it that is the only time I have heard of people using a stabalizer

Do you mean to say that you want more steering effort? If so, then a sway bar (assuming that's what you're talking about when you say stabilizer) isn't going to alter that per se. Pulling the power steering fuse will make the car's steering feel heavier for sure, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

I installed Stillen sways, hard front/med rear, and I will say I noticed a little more steering resistance and response mid corner. Nothing too dramatic though.

Ahh ok. What do you mean by heavier now? Do you mean physically harder to turn? Or more sluggish? Neither of these occur, it isn't any harder to turn and in actually makes your car feel more nibble and responsive. Great mod IMO as long as you stick with Motordyne or Hotchkis
