I have a 2002 Ford Taurus SEL with the 16 inch tires.
I want to modify the suspension to improve on cornering ability. I want to do this because I happen to live on some pretty rugged terrain and the highway that runs through my County is very twisty and sometimes I don't get adequate steering feedback from the car probably because it has power steering.
But the main concern is road holding abilities. Is it possible to install a front roll bar for better cornering? If I get stiffer shock absorbers like "Monroes" would that help any or would stiffer strut springs be needed too? Also I really don't want to mess with the ride height yet I'm open to all possibilities. Many high performance cars are sold stock with those wide and thin-walled high performance wheels/tires like some of the BWM sedans for instance. Would that make the biggest improvement?
I don't want to do a half assed job with this mod, I would rather get it done right the first time. And so I'm concerned about needing to recalibrate the speedometer/odometer if the wheels change in size.
I would like better cornering and tracking, at the same time maintaining ride comfort on the straightaway highways.
TIA!!!
