i think the stock susp. holds its own on the road i have 17's and nexan tires(cheap) and i take the curves around here in western pa. pretty good. now my question is , how much faster can i really go through a turn. i take sum bends at 80 with only a little tire squeal will coilovers give me that much more. any of u guys that have them let me know.thanks.

Well I don't think anyone on here would suggest taking turns at that kind of speed, but what aftermarket suspension will do is firm up the ride, give you less body roll, and ultimately making the car more stable during cornering.
Now a combination of coilovers and sway bars would really hit the spot. now if you're convinced that your stock suspension is suitable to 80+MPH cornering then by all means stick with it... but try taking 7 or 8 consecutive sharp corners and hold your speed. Thats where coilovers help out. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
