My 2000 S500 is great, but it doesn't handle the curves nearly as well as my old 7 BMW. What can be done to make this car handle better, without sacrificing comfort and ride, preferably with the existing stock wheels?
BTW, what should a used set of 18" sport package wheels cost?
Thanks

Have you tried setting ur suspension settings to a stiffer setting? Without changing your tires, there isn't much you can do.

Can lower your car a bit more with special lowering tools sold at www.performanceproducts.com

You can change your tires to a grippier set of tires (The stock Michelins suck...on the S430, I don't know what comes stock on the S500) There may also be sway bars you can buy...but those will make your ride a bit stiffer. Based on my experience in modding Honda's, the suspension sway bars will stiffen your ride, but allow you to take corners much faster.

Good luck.

try the sport mode first, if you need more, then go with a wider and larger wheels/tire in rear.
