what are some of the best handling mods you can do?

tires and sway bars

tires and lowering. sway bars are overrated. your car already has them. they don't make as big of a difference as being able to lower your COG.

Not that guy but they can. It depends on your car.

Performance tires, performance brake passes, DOT4 brake fluid.

All of these are wear items any way, so you remain "stock".

Never underestimate what just a tire can do in terms of lateral grip, and even braking.

brake pads (carbon ceramic)
front and rear sway bars
front strut bar
springs and shocks/coilovers
tires
lightweight wheels (RFP1)
learning the limits of your vehicle, and intimately knowing the roads you drive it on

*brake pads

>>16945344
stainless steel brake lines are another cheapish and easy mod

>>16944834
Sway bars with coilovers make a huge difference

Correction, strut bars

® Reduce weight
® Good tires at the correct air pressures

Everything else depends on the vehicle and how you want the car to drive.

Cars have this big blob of bone and sinew between the steering wheel and the seat. Some call it "driver", I call it "Organic Dynamic Control Interface".

Point is, you should begin by upgrading that before spending money on other mods. No amount of mods will help if you're a retard who doesn't know what he's doing.

Don't. Use bolt in aftermarket replacement parts.
Front shocks should have less compression resistance. Rear shocks should have more.
Choose springs based off how your car navigates bumps and turns. In FF cars putting a higher spring rate w/ weaker (softer) shocks will cause loss of traction. Putting stiffer shocks on the front of an FF kills your turning. So keep or reduce front spring rates. On the rear you want springs just barely stronger than the shocks, in FR or FF your actual handling comes from keeping the rear tires land bound and following the front (going around a muddy/snowy bend should leave only two tire tracks, where the rear followed right into the front's tracks) there's always going to be some inaccuracy, since 90% of rear wheels don't turn.
Stronger bearings, hubs, tie-rods, and ball joints. No point in tearing your wheels off hooning, be safe, take care of the weak points, grease with every oil change.
Alignment:
For FF (on FR I use factory specs most of the time)-
>Front
Toe: -0.25 (this is just enough to eat tires, -0.15 is better for tires and doesn't kill topspeed as badly)
Camber: -0.5 (put the drivers weight in the driver's seat while adjusting this)
Caster: Factory spec most of the time. Less caster = better turning/worse stability, more caster = more stability/less turning
>Rear
Toe: -0.07
Camber: -0.2
Caster: What are you, GM?

Seat time that is all there is to it. Now get out there and do some autocross events I just did my third one last night

Preach it from the mountain! People put stronger rear sways in FF cars also to tighten up the back a bit to reduce understeer. It helps a lot. Throwing a 25mm rear sway bar for $120 made more of a difference than going from 150k mile OEM suspension to brand new. Doing basic things to improve balance help more than slapping power down or doing random supposed improvements without reasoning. Tires keep your contact with the road. They are the single most important thing!

>>16946703
how many chickens do you have?
is it always the same chicken or you choose random ones?

>>16945338
this.
when you start to alter suspension, its best to do it intelligently and as an entire system. Quite often the benefits a person feels from a single part upgrade is because the stock part had 100,000 miles on it and was worn out.

it depends on your car
