Default Here's what I want....any suggestions?

Audivolk,

I want a new suspension. Can anyone suggest a setup that would deliver most, if not all, of the following?

1. I want tight, crisp, and precise handling.
2. I want to get rid of that god-awful delay for my chassis to catch up after I've turned in.
3. I want to feel the road underneath me and feel like I'm driving a car and not riding a hovercraft.
4. I want to get rid of the billowing from side to side the car exhibits when I change lanes at highway speeds.
5. I want as much feedback from the car as I can get during all driving conditions. With the stock setup, I don't have a lot of information coming into my body as to where the car is on the road during cornering maneuvers.

Driving school is already on the list, and I don't expect that a new suspension is going to make me a better driver. Having said that, I should add:

6. I want to keep up with all those M3's that spank me in the twisties. (This one is low on the priority list...;-) )

I'm not going to take the car to the track, and I will sacrifice as much comfort as I need to to achieve the above handling characteristics.

Any recommendations? Please give me a bit of detail as to why you like your setup.

TIA,

Zaid

Default Interesting I want something wife friendly that keeps the cars a$$ down at 110 on the track

This comes from a little experience I had at Pocono, with r compounds on the car the a$$ end was all over the map at 100+ while I was navigating the oval. It was so bad that people behind me asked what the hell wa happening, the stock suspension can keep up most of the time on the track but not with reall sticky tires
