good handling mods

my car is lowered by h&r springs about 1.25" with kyb agx shocks. to get a good stiff ride what setting should i have my shocks on. also what fairly inexpensive mods can i put on it to make the handling really come alive. i also have yokohama avid h4 in the back and falken ziex tires in the front are these good tires for handling.

A good rear SWAYbar.

Your car will only stick as good as your tires. Those tires you have are really bad!

But I agree rear sway bar does wonders too.

what tires do you reccomend getting

My pick on great SUMMER tires (note these tires will suck if you get snow):

Falken Azenis
Kumho MX
Toyo T1S
Yokohama ES100
Dunlop SP9000
Yokohama A032R (more of a racing compound though)

well i live in central virginia, so we get snow about 4-5 times a year and about 15" a year

So you might want to have 2 sets of wheels and tires. I actually have 4 sets of tires and 3 sets of wheels :)

1) winter tires on OEM Si wheels
2) 15" autocross tires on 15x7" Kosei K1s
3) 16x7" R compounds on 16x7" Rota C8s.
