My friend just got an RX8 and it handles really well. Would it be possible for my New Edge to handle like that? What should I do to it to make it handle that much better?

you need a lot to be able to handle like an rx8...control arms, panhard bar, springs, shocks, struts, subframe connecters, sway bars, good tires....ect.

So what would make a noticeable differance out of a those if I just wanted to improve handling in general?

see below...my car does not ride as soft as an rx8 but it will carve the canyons with the best of them...love my set up for curvy roads...it has way more grip than I have talent...

Ok so I am going to look into shocks/struts, springs, sway bars, and control arms. I don't necessarily need to handle with him or outhandle, I just want it to handle better.

I think a lot might have to do with weight distribution in that car. If it has the rotoray engine I think the weight distribution is about 50/50; I could be wrong.

Only if you listen t the howard stern show. Otherwise your car is slow as dick.

Yea, an RX8 has an almost completely even weight distribution and the rotary engine.
I am hoping to eventually go with a Griggs racing suspension. They actually get rid of the modified Macpherson strut that we have in our cars and it will handle like a champ.

yea im pretty sure its 50/50 weight distribution, and 89convert dont you have a cobra? isnt that irs or did they start in 99?I really dont know but if so, thats probably a key factor in your handling.
