[QUOTE="green, post: 3265766, member: 11722"] balance...or should I say good handling of the altezza is simply a matter of tuning up your stock suspension: 1.change springs n shocks 2.adding some under braces bars for that chassis rigidity 3.upgrading your anti roll bars for that lesser body roll while cornering/zipping between cars on the highway. the original suspension for the stock altezza sucks big time...so how can 1 say the balance/handling is good ..even for the 3s for that matter. i know coz i changed my suspension in the 1st place. mines an auto. the only thing good for a stock altezza is its chassis....spectacular metal chassis. solid n firm. 3s/1j/2j/1 uz fe(the V8)...it all depends whether the fella understands enough to upgrade to his/her own desired specs in the handling arena. bearing in mind some like soft/some like hard. another thing in mine. turbo charged a 3S is fun of course..but theres no handling...lol so how to enjoy all that 280hp(assuming) on the road? the reason is the suspension cant even transfer all that meaty torque onto the ground. put in a 1j. power is good. but who says the 3S turbo charged is slow? anyone chased a turbo altezza in a 1j altezza? heavier yes. so just upgrade to harder springs to support the heavy weight. the 1st rule in any tuning ups 1. upgrade your suspension..to have a better handling on the road. 2. upgrade brakes...since ur are driving faster..u better be able to stop faster 3. upgrade tires....good tires translate to more feel on the road 4. upgrade the engine!!!! think about it....coz its a never ending quest for power?...nope i call it "the fun of driving" cheers [/QUOTE]
