What to do for better handling?
I want my TL Type-S to have a better handling at corners and in general... what should I do? What brand? How much?
Thanks.
Thanks.

go with either Comptech Springs, or H&R Sport Springs. if you're still dissatisfied with the handling capability after that, put some CT sways on, then let us know what you think.

1. Tires first
2. then sways
3. then springs/shocks
The first two will get you 90% of the way there.
P.S. You may get differing opinions here but I have driven cars with tires only, sways only, and springs only and based my conclusion on that.

My first name IS NOT Tony by the way... thanks for the comments... I thought shocks and coil overs did more good than the sways.

Remember shocks (struts) dampen the vertical motion induced by driving your car along a rough surface. Shocks absorb any larger-than-average bumps in the road so that the "shock" of the road isn't transmitted to the car chassis; they also keep the suspension at as full a travel as possible for the given road conditions. Shocks keep your wheels planted on the road.
