What has been your most effective suspension or handling upgrade that you feel in your opinion was the most effective for your car? For me it was these 3 in this exact order

1. new tires
   
2. drop springs
   
3. front and rear sway bars
   

 

Fully depends on the car. On my 350Z. it was swaybars. They're the weak point. On my Mustang, it was the rear lower control arms (bad wheel hop). On my RD Tib, it was tires.

 

1. Tires

2. RD tib rear sway bar/poly bushings. 17mm, stock is 13mm.

3. Lowering springs.



I haven't even considered aftermarket sway bars because it already oversteers very easily.

 

replacing worn-out shocks, hands-down.



after that, a stiffer rear sway bar.

 

17" wheels and a good set of tires did wonders for me. But I don't have potholes to contend with.

 

Springs and tires for the Genesis. It's so easy to swing the back end around. Factory tires are not sticky enough, so getting wider and better gripping tires is like a night and day difference.

 

Springs and tires definitely for me.

 

Honestly didn't realize just how big of an improvement light weight rims could be for the overall handling of my car.



The Veloster would always step out on me when encountering corners with rough roads. Was a bit unsettling. Was on the hunt for ways to improve the rear suspension. Was thinking new springs and shocks, sway bar maybe, strut tower.



I knew I wanted some lighter rims as the OEM's come in close to 28lbs each!!! Ended up getting TSW's that are 18lbs each. Guess what???? No more ass end with a mind of its own! So, if you're rolling on some heavy rims still, I'd look into new rims. Kill THREE birds with 1 stone! You get looks, performance, and handling in 1 purchase!
