Spring and shock combo most definatly for bumpy twisty roads... ive noticed from personal experience bumps on corners with my coilovers dont go well ive never lost control of my vehicle
but just standard driving cause the front to travel till it found the road again... Then be worried about the rear kicking out...
Pedders spring and shock setup would most likely be the go man they lower your car and theyre
built for those bumpy conditions... The popo's use pedders in the pursuit cars...
i agree with the pedders option for a daily and a road car. ur other option would be king springs coupled kyb agx or something like that. that and some decent swaybars will be good
koni yellows with eibach springs and proven effective :) other option could be some bilstein shocks? the possibilities are endless.. if you get serious about stuff like that time to upgrade all your old rubber bushings in your car!
drive the car till you exceed it's limits.
1) Your bushings need to be good. Any cracked bushings and you're wasting your time.
2) Your shocks need to work - if they're cheap, they're probably crap.
3) You need to get the rear roll stiffness up there - rear swaybar is a start.
4) Best tyres you can afford.
5) Don't bother with monkey bars, spend your money on shocks instead.
With basic lowering springs, quality dialed in shocks, big rear swaybar and great tyres, your car will be better than your are for a good while.
This guy sums it up pretty well, you need to get the roll stiffness up without going to excessive spring rates. I will add that whilst these things will make your car more enjoyable to drive on a winding road you shouldn't be aiming to be faster on such roads because invariably the fastest person is the most foolish and the most willing to risk lives.Quote:

Personally, good coilovers, are actually the way to go, i think you just had a bad experience
make sure u lower ur tyre pressure, or else GG on a sharp turn when u gun it with stiff suspension
Make sure you don't listen to this guy.Quote:

Yes they do. Wheel dimensions affect handling in all situations. Every time you make a change to wheel offset, wheel diameter, wheel width, tyre width, tyre profile, tyre construction it has an effect on handling. The extent of that effect varies.Quote:
