How about aftermarket sway bars? That will definitely help with handling and it won;t make your ride any harsher.

There is a pic of the driver seat in my car's post on the sedan pic thread here:

Good point. Tire sidewall will help. If you get some very sitcky tires with a good size sidewall you could have a little better ride and still good grip.

I actually think I have found the issue...it has 215/45s I think with that width they should be 55s. I am going to replace them with 235/50s on the factory sport rims. I wanted to go to 245s like Ttrank recomended but i think that may be asking too much out of a 7 inch rim. I am guessing that will have a major impact. Not only is it closer to the correct sidewall but the wider tire will probably help swallow up some bumps.

thanks for all the help.

Sways are actually on the list. do you guys have a favorite brand or one that is the best deal that I should look for?

also the wife stays...she is a huge blessing, and any one that can put up with me is a pretty rare find!!!!

yeah, no doubt...I think the dealer I bought it from just replaced them and did not get it right. It is excellent practice for throttle control in a corner though. with the TC turned off the rear end is like a light switch...either it is still behing you or not...TC typically stays on!

cant wait to see how she rides/handle with the new tires. I was thinking about the goodyear F1s the magazines have been raving about. does anyone have any experience with them?
