why do i feel so much confident in my prelude than my i30?
the i30's sterring wheel is very light, and not very stable on freeway, car kinda floats...i'm bothered by this problem
i'm planning on putting soe eibach with stock shock, how will this reduce the floaty freeway ride?

I've owned 2 preludes in the past
and the steering wheel on my max is the tightest out of all the various cars that i've owned.

i have a 97 prelude and a 95 maxima

with more than 2 grands upgrade to the suspension (H&R springs, tokicos, FSTB, RSTB stillen sway bar, and 17 inches with 235/45R17 the maxima still no way handle corner like the prelude with only eibach springs due to center of gravity..the prelude sit much closer to the ground..just love the suspension of the prelude... ..but love the extra torque of the maxima
