    The changes you made to your suspension would make it corner like it's on rails. I'd have a hard time not driving it hard & fast.

    Back in the day I added spring expanders to my old '78 Ford Fiesta, some unmatched junkyard aluminum rims, and cheap oversized bias-ply tires. That was a fun car to corner with until the transmission quit. There's nothing like a cheap hatchback...

    It's good but it's not amazing. The way it is now is a decent mix of decent ride and decent handling. I would prefer it to be a bit lower and a bit stiffer. I am going to get coilovers for it next year so I can have better control of the ride height and stiffness. But for now it is a huge improvement handling wise but I would like it to be more like a go-cart.
