I wanna have more control when turning/merging quickly I feel like the car rolls/tilts to much.

Purchase an aftermarket rear sway bar to improve body roll while cornering. An aftermarket strut tower bar works well with the rear sway bar as well --- so you may want to consider this as well.

Just keep in mind that even with the suspension upgrades I mentioned. The coupe will still drive like a pig as it simply wasn't tuned to be a sporty handling car. The rear sway bar, and front strut bar will make the car drive significantly more stable in a straight line at high speeds. :naughty:

I agree with seldomseen 100%. I've had the RL rear sway & the Stillen STB for over a year. Noticeable difference. Definitely worth the money. I also installed RL traction rods shortly after & they seem to reduce wheel hop & torque steer.

Just another guy saying that the rear sway bar and STB are well worth it! I'm also installing RL traction rods next week as well as coilovers and summer tires in a few months as my final handling hoorah
