    Any difference between G80 5.0 Ultimate shock absorbers and struts v. G80 Sport?

    Hi, everyone. We have a 2018 G80 5.0 Ultimate. The engine is a treat, but I don’t find the chassis tuning as swell as I’m sure Albert Biermann would have preferred, In particular, I’m not happy with the shock valving, especially at the rear. In the front struts, the compression valving is...

    Excessive body roll

    I drove a g70 3.3 sport a few weeks ago, when I was taking turns to check out its handling there was a lot of roll. I thought since it is the sporty model and trim, it would not do that especially with the active suspension. It was the demo / loaner car for the dealership, but it had about 12000...

    First Generation Rigid Collar Questions

    I apologize in advance for beating what may be a dead horse, but I still have some questions about rigid collars. 1. Will these (or the installation thereof) void either of my warranties (60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper CPO and 10/100k powertrain warranty)? 2. Can I expect any improvement in...

    First Generation 2013 R-Spec Tire Options

    Does the 2013 Genesis R-Spec support the same P245/45R19 tires that the 2012 R-Spec does? I am looking for a set of new all-season tires for my 2013. Somebody put Michelin Premier LTXs on my car which are totally wrong for a sport sedan. They are an SUV/Pickup/Crossover tire with the wrong...

    How To Improve Handling

    Does anyone have any advise on how to tighten up handling on my 4.6 sedan? It rides quite well but it's obvious it was tuned more for comfort than sport and having come from a lowered Genesis Coupe I'd like to give the handling a sportier character without absolutely spoiling ride. I'm currently...

    Considering the Genesis -- what are the handling traits at the limit?

    Considering picking up a Genesis -- what are the handling traits at the limit? Ride compliance in Genesis is a breath of fresh air among its competitors, but I like to push the car now and then. So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how the car (please specify v6/v6 awd/v8) handles at the...

    Genesis 5.0 handling characteristics.

    Sorry to be the new guy no one has heard of asking questions, but a search didn't bring up as much detail as I would have liked. So here goes: My wife and I are going to be in the market early to mid next year for a new car, and the Genesis is on our list. We have test driven one, a 3.8L V6...

    Second generation Genesis ride and handling

    Most reviews of the 2g Genesis are very positive, but the one area that’s often treated at least a little bit negatively is the way the car rides and handles. Maybe I’m displaying a little bit of ignorance and lack of experience in the driving of the finer motorcars of the world, but I think...

    2013 Genesis 3.8 V6 Questions on Handling / Transmission / Features

    Hi everyone, I found my way here via Google... I'm considering a 2013 Genesis 3.8 sedan, thought I'd ask the knowledgeable owners here a few questions on my mind. Note - I'm not really a 'car guy' so excuse me :) 1 - How do these cars ride, in general? I've read that the V8 R-Spec models are a...

    Why is quick acceleration/good handling is important

    I was going to work the other day. Three lanes stopped at a stop light. Right lane was right turn only (nice green light that shows right turn only along with a sign). Middle lane (I was in it) is either left turn or straight through the intersection. Left lane is left turn only. Like I...

    Improving handling

    I have a 2012 Rspec and I'm really enjoying the car. I'd like to improve the "turn-in" so that it bites harder/more responsive at corner entry. Can this be improved by adjusting more in more "toe in" or going to a different tire? Any suggestions?

    > Tire/wheel Size Effect On Ride Quality And Handling

    I've test driven and am considering a purchase of 3.8 Genesis with 17 inch wheels and 235/55R17 tires. The ride was great, the handling seemed fine. Can someone comment on the likely difference there would be in ride quality and handling if the car was equipped instead with 18 inch wheels and...

    For those who want tighter handling.

    Don't know if it would help or hinder the suspected rear strut issue, but... These are popular in the BMW crowd also, as I understand. http://www.btgmotoring.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=HR52020
