Hey Everybody,
I have a stock 01GT.I just put on some BFG TractionT/A's and I kinda figured they would not help out much but is there a way I can make the ride a little more tame without loosing the handeling characteristics of the car?I don't want to anything extreme but is there a better shock package that would make the car not as bumpy?

Thanx,
Jack
 
Jack, the bumpy ride is a trade off for better handling and a characteristic of a sports car. I noticed the car was abit bumpy when I first bought it, but it was actualy less bumpier then my previous car that was lowered with an eibach pro kit. Not much you can do unless your willing to trade the handling for comfort.

Well, thats true, for the conventional cheap methods of suspension tuning (which obviously is most likely for most)

To gain true suspension performance you have to put down the big money with quality components. There are several packages out there that are a complete change in the geometry of the suspension, autocross quality suspension without a loss in driveability (well, a huge gain really). Griggs makes one, I think Maximum Motorsports but that may be a glorified bolt on package im not so sure, I have see Kenny Brown AGS systems too. I mean, there are things you can do, to answer your question, but not for low cost
