euforik · 06-11-2002, 03:48 PM

ok, i will be the first to admit that i take the handling capabilites of my car for granted. after driving a buddies vw gti, the suspension on the lude feels sooooo superior! got to love the independent double wishbone suspension!!!

(not flaming the gti, dont get me wrong i love the car)

so this post is just a reminder, take 5 mins or so out of your next drive (be safe!!)

and enjoy the suspension of our cars. have fun!

I have been driving a 94 Chevy ex. cab pickup for the past 6 weeks. I know what you mean. And I just got a strut bar I can't wait to test out.

Just 5 minutes? Everytime I hope in my lude I push the suspension and tires hard

. I have been driving a Pathfinder around for a while, although I've managed to squeel the tires on turns, it's not so fun to drive.

Werd.

I probably look like an idiot but I heel toe into and turn fast on most right and left turns now for fun. Twisty roads are my friend.

I've been driving around a Nissan Quest minivan to work lately to keep my car from being stolen. Let me tell you that I most certainly don't take my Prelude's handling for granted.

I sometimes drive our family's Quest not only to I appreciate being able to turn at over 5mph but also how much faster my car is than that van.

I haven't driven my car in clost to a month

The car handles like a mofo. I love it! I wonder how much different it's going to feel in my CRX?

Don't forget braking, that van takes FOREVER to come to a stop.

I know what you mean. Occasionally I let my buddy (that owns a GSR) drive my lude and he always comments on how much better the lude handles compared to his car. I have H&R sports and a strut bar. He has Neuspeed Race springs, camber kit, and a stock strut bar, and he prefers my suspension over his. The ludes rule.

My girl has a 95 Dodge intrepid. I hate driving her car (most of the time). Its steering sucks (non-responsive) and the body roll is hellacious. The grunt from its v6 is nice, but that doesnt make up for the fact that it handles like poop.

Driving other peoples cars make me appreciate my car that much more.

try adding some killer Tokiko adjustable (white) struts all around.....now multiply the handling capabilities by 5!

I don't slow down for curves or turns anymore.
