RE: Go Speedracer, go!
Well I have been needing new tires. And I am worried about my suspension. It doesn't roll when I turn or dip when I stop though. It just seems to make more noise than it should. I kinda rattles but when I went to have it checked, they blamed it on my body kit being loose and tightened the bolts for me. But it was a free check so I don't believe it was thorough and they seemed a little unprofessional.

RE: Go Speedracer, go!
a tranny wont make a diffrence in how your car handles at high speeds..... tires and suspension and how you use the steering wheel and throttle / brake will....... if tires and suspension did not make a diffrence why wouldent nascar drivers just use stock suspension and tires???
When your car reaches high speeds the car starts to lift a little because of the air going under the car, that is where good suspension will hold your car down and good tires will keep it stuck to the road.....(and a wing and good front lip at speeds above like 130-140 for more down force.)
my car used to be a handful at 115 but when i got my tires/rims and Tokico suspension, it feels the same as when im driving 70-80.

It also doesn't help that body kits today are only made for looks and not aerodynamics. More than likely your kit was just acting like a giant snow plow and not helping to steady the car.

last time I was at a track day, 120 didn't make my car any less harder to control. I have stock wheels, yokohama tires, and stock suspension.
