I have the 18" Turbo-look wheels on and while I don't find the handling wanting, I also think some added stiffness with some springsand/or shocks will only improve the car's grip. I've found the back end a little 'soft' at the track in stock set-up, though I don't have an 'S', so this may not be as pronounced on your car. My Pfaff mechanic has told me Apex-I springs and stock shocks will greatly increase grip and handling while reducing ride comfort by only 20%. How he arrives at this equation is a mystery, but it will be the next thing I do, so I'll let you know.
