Well, I would say go with a tire/shock upgrade. I believe one of the
guys upgraded and says it makes a huge difference. Otherwise, you may
want to mess with the tires' air pressure and then theres always the
easy but unwanted idea of just slowing down. So if a grand or so is just
laying around get the upgrades or live with it. I dont have a grand, so
I live with it. Sometimes slowing down. I am in hopes of the wheel
upgrade in the next month, im saving for um. Later.
