i have a stock 00 ls1 and when i get up to triple digits my car handles worth crap what can i install to make it handle better

Try some decent lowering springs and shocks. Less air under the car, better control.

By the way, what constitutes "handling like crap"?

triple digits on a regular road with bumps and waves in the road is going to make it feel liek that man. and your also going triple digits.

Check the alignment. For straight-line stability you want to have about 0.10° toe in. Make sure the caster is maxed out (shoot for at least +4.5°)

the steering is so delayed. the car just wants to go in whatever lane without me controlling it. i could take a vette a bmw a dakota r/t and none of them are uncomfortable. I know im going triple digits thats why I asked if there is something to make the car handle like it should not like a TOYOTA CORLLOA TWITCH TWICE

the stock shocks do that. if you put in decent shocks and springs, it handles much better... but then you end up going faster and you're back to the problem with the roads not being designed like racetracks... a few weeks ago i was going about 120 and hit a little dip/bump in the road - car bottomed out a little and added another small scratch to the cats, but it got the adrenaline flowing.

regardless.. after getting decent shocks and springs, your camaro will handle better than your dakota.

Their are lots of stuff you can do.I would start with a good set of shocks.koni's I did konis with lower control arms,panhard rod,(aftermarket .Heater hose/ lower purch lowering mod. Strano hollow sway bars.The car

This, as well as a good alignment....I agree.


BTW, if it's THAT unstable at "triple digit speeds", WTH you going that fast for?? Troubleshoot the problem before somebody gets hurt!!

Biggest help will be shocks. Not any shocks, you have "any" shocks on the car now. Slap a set of Koni's on there and be ready for a much, much more stable car. Springs, bars, etc, can make the car flatter, etc... but the real trick for stability is the dampers themselves.

I´m driving about 107 mph (170 kmh) on the motorway and It´s no big deal really. It´s a shitty road with lots of dips, turns and worn ditches but the car feels solid and runs straight as an arrow. I´m pretty convinced I could push it a lot more and still feel safe. Right now it´s the tires (crappy old General 2000) that holds me back. So, have faith and talk to Sam.
