i went to the autcorss event held by edmunds.com today
they got i30 touring(max se's twin) and bmw 323 and IS300, 3.2TL etc...
i was very disappointed on the i30t's performance, bmw handles the best..then lexus..even 3.2 TL is more stable than the i30t, i always thought i30t is the bad a$$ sedan
but apparently i was wrong...it has too much body roll and the suspension just isnt stiff enough...how can i make my 2000 i30L handle like bimmer? new springs/shocks/anit sways gonna do the trick? opionions welcome but no flames plz.

- rear strut tower brace
- rear stabilizer bar
- springs / coil overs
- shocks
- stickier tires
am i missing anything?
racing school
upper pillow ball mounts, front sway bar (uprgade) mount weights on the passengers side, same as your bodyweiht to even things out, caster adjustment, fuel cell to keep gas from swish and swashing around so the weight stays inthe middle and fuel is consistant. though those might be alil' to the extreme for a daily driver car.
