92 rs not cornering like I want - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

When I take a clover leaf ramp a little fast I feel the front corner tipping and diving more than I want. I have an 86 iroc that corners beautifully. How can I make my rs corner the same? new struts? new springs? or both??

Tires, Shocks, Allignment.
Those three components will give you the most bang for your buck when it comes to handling and should be addressed first. I'd reccomend replacing the shocks on the car, and getting an allignment that's more aggressive than stock, but not sure much so it will eat the tires off your car.
You will also want to go over the car and replace any worn out bushings on the car. Modifying the car with a worn out foundation isn't the best way of doing things lol.
Springs will have an effect as well. You'll need to decide if you want to lower the car or keep it at stock ride heigh. You'll have to pair the shocks you choose with the springs.

the iroc has way stiffer front springs..... and swaybars, i noticed a huge difference going from the 30mm/19mm swaybares tothe 36mm/24mm bars, night and day difference
