How to get the best handing & torque?

Postby Modder_J on Sun Jan 04, 2004 3:05 am

Just curious as to how to get the best handing & torque from a FRST.
Engine mods i have in mind are:

Stage 2 T3 Turbo
Stage 2 Chip
Intercooler
Beige Injectors
low compression pistons
full mongoos exhaust system

i know the handling comes down to suspension (and other things) but what is good to go for ?
