spring/shock setup or coilovers
strut bars
sway bars
various other tie/control/tension rods/arms for proper adjustability and steering angle
proper alignment specs
proper weight balance
good brakes
good tires (best performance upgrade you can make)
but the most important of all is knowing your car and becoming a skilled driver.

Hilarious... Well first, you remove the springs from your shocks and put the shocks back... Then over inflate all your tires, loosen the lugnuts holding your rims in place, take all the brake fluid out of the master cylinder, and go driving... Guaranteed better handling or your money back... Good luck

The best and easiest way to make your car handle better is by clicking on this link.................http://www.zilvia.net/f/search.php

Only after you do that will you be able to grasp 1/100000th of how much of an idiot you are!!!!!

Thank you, come again

I'll be nice on this.

You might want to try to use the search button on the top of the page.

You might want to also use something called www.google.com and see what kind of results you get from there.

Looks like you got some good answers already in your other thread:

And if not... Go with what the guy up above said:

Don't forget to add as many decals as possible to your car. Each decal up to 4" long adds 2hp, 8" adds 5hp, and 12" adds 10hp. You'll have to take the area of your complete car to figure out the maximum hp to area ratio. Oh, and custom decals definitely add lots of hp. Just use this equation for anything above 12": (Decal Height x Decal Length) / 3.14 = hp. Remember that these are for hp at the crank not at the wheel.

You'll definitely handle better just going faster through the turns because the faster you go through the turns, the less time you'll be using the suspension, duh.
