Everything about this car has proven to be a huge upgrade, however, i can't get used to how loose the steering is. The car is very capable, and has managed through everything I've thrown at it, but the wheel motion is much more luxury(?) than the sporty feel I expected. Is this just my mistake for not getting a coupe or S model, or is there something I can easily adjust to tighten the steering a suspension.

If there are any other things I should know as a new owner, let me know. I want to get the most out of this awesome car.

 

While cornering hard the steering gets stiffer.

 

Sway bar makes jet ride on rails... Closest if not better than BMW suspension. Now I am jsu coming from bmer xi coupe. And can tell you the steering is no different other than when at low mph the power steering works much better on the g and at high mph it's the same. The only difference there is more body roll og the g. Sway bars will fix that.

 

Also if you have the 17" Goodyear RSA's they're a horrible match for this car. Bigger rims w/ lower profile tires w/ actual stiff sidewalls will get rid of a lot of that floaty feel you have when cornering.

 

I went from 17" to the sport 19" and that alone make a noticeable difference in handling .

 

If you want tighter suspension just put sport package parts. The tires are the most important.

 

Put the GTSpec Strut Tower Bar. I felt the same loose steering with my g37x, the STB made it nice and firm, and got rid of some body roll. It still won't get you the sport steering ratio.

Upgrade sway bars, you'll reduce body roll and make the steering tighter. You can also put beefier tires.

 

Thanks for the advice.

That STB looks like what I'll go with first, followed by a sway bar. I've never done any sort of car mod or work, but the STB looks like something I should be fine doing on my own. Did it really make a noticeable difference?

 

It makes a noticeable difference. It's the cheapest upgrade you can do for this.

 

Sway bars + better tires = fun

 

Sways, Coils, Strut Bar

 

I would do the sways first, then the strut. Strut is somewhat easy but can be tricky fitting it properly with the wires.

 

are the sways something I could do on my own?

 

Got the most expensive item outa the way first.

The other two are on "the list".
