RS Kit

[Suaveat69]

Installed it a week ago. Lowers car a bit. Ride is a tad better than stock and handels just a bit better.

The handling still sucks, way to much sway like a water bed. But still better than stock and a worth it upgrade.

Finish the job with a rear sway bar.

Then you have something wrong because stock these cars handle very well.

Compared to a water bed, yes it handles well.

Most cars are set up at the factory to please the average driver and the average driver wants a soft ride (and an automatic transmission). The newer Sonic RS has the soft suspension. You need at least the "PERFORMANCE" springs, shocks & struts and a rear sway bar to make it handle well.. it won't turn it into a sports car but you will have more confidence going into the twisties.
