How to get tighter handling like my friend's BMW 3-series?

How do you have the Konis set?

How do you have the Konis set?

Fronts I switched from full soft to full stiff hard to tell a difference new to this. I think I like full stiff more. Rears are...I think I put to full soft. Rears are a HUGE pain to change, have to remove the whole shock, compress the springs remove the springs, and then I can adjust the rears. Guy in another thread at scionlife had Konis for tracking his tC said to put the rears on full stiff. So I may do that, once.
Fronts easy to change.

I became less happy with stock suspension when inflated tires to max psi @ 42 (noticed them bouncing at times going over bumps), haven't tweaked their pressure down yet want to touch one variable at a time.

When I take a turn hard the car barely rolls at all, I do like this very much. It's just if do sharp turns jerking left and right really fast it shows up. Might just be looking for it too hard.

My Miata with 450lb-in/300lb-in springs dives a little bit in slaloms, and I bet I've got relatively stiffer springs and sways than you do. Body roll is your car talking to you and is fine unless it's really screwing up your suspension geometry, which it probably isn't in your case. Unless you really screwed up your roll centers, but I don't think you did much of that because your drop was relatively mild, right?

yes 1.2", I just desire to get rid of the roll because it's uncomfortable to feel like you're being tossed out of your seat through the corner


those are probably much stiffer

do you have those?

Its on my list of possible long term improvements. The stock seats in my MR2 actaully hug me quite well. They have adjustable sides that can be turned in to squeeze around my rib cage. But a tonne of guys have bought these seats and claim that they are `amazing`.
If you are fat, I would recommend against them though.

TRD used to sell a supercharger for the Tc several years ago that you could have put on by the dealer and wouldn't void your warranty.

I just checked the trd website and it appears that they no longer produce that for Tc. They do have other parts tho, like sway bars, lowering springs, mufflers, and strut tower brace.

Those would be a PITA on the street.

oh? why is that? can you explain?

You really need that explained or are you trying to be obtuse?

Driving 24/7 in blinders would be my first thought, getting in an out daily as well.

To derail the thread? Your focus seems to be trolling here alot.

only had 200hp, they discontinued due to much greater than anticipated warranty claims
