Handling improvements for 300?
Looking for a 5 speed SC300 but it will have to have (or I'll have to modify it) for better handling. By that I mean less lean, a firmer ride, maybe less vague shifter feel, etc. I drove one and have written a review at http://www.tomandkarenspage.com/cars (look for the SC300 Review) but am finding it hard to come up with available parts/what to do, etc. Can you help with suggestions? I don't want to turbo the car, btw.
Thanks a lot for any advice!

Thanks a lot. BTW, any suggestions for cat-back systems? Apexi? Borla? Want to hear some more noise, but don't want it to sound like a swarm of bees or be so loud as to be obnoxious at highway speeds.
Thanks again,
Tom

also many of your concerns and questions have been addressed in previous threads. The search function located on the top left corner of the website will reveal many answers.
good luck with the car.

Exhaust-
if you want a cat back- I would sugguest the Greddy MX (sounds like you probably dont want canisters like on the JIC Bullet System)
Borla is just an axel back- I had one... over priced, no difference sound of performance
JIC Bullet- have it on now- sounds awesome
Magnaflow with custom piping- had it, sounded poppy, but I had no resonators
if you want to go to a place that list alot of parts for sale for our cars- go to http://www.takakaira.com and enter "soarer" in the search field.
