There are several ways to help cars maintain stability when cornering, including:
-
Lowering the center of gravity: This can be done by adding a set of lowering springs or coilovers, reducing weight high up in the car, or lowering the seat height to bring the drivers bodyweight lower in the car.
-
Reducing chassis flexing: Anything that reduces chassis flexing under hard cornering will lead to an improvement in how the suspension works and how the car handles. This can be accomplished by fitting various braces such as strut and chassis braces.
-
Improving wheel alignment: Improving the wheel alignment, toe angle, camber, and caster, and maintaining proper tire pressure can make the car stable at high speeds.
-
Using electronic safety features: Some cars have electronic safety features like Cornering Stability Control (CSC) that regulate the braking force on each wheel and help the car maintain a straight line instead of over-steering during sharp turns.
-
Adding anti-roll bars: Anti-roll bars reduce body roll during hard cornering by taking some of the forces generated on one side of the suspension and transferring them to the other.
-
Practicing good cornering technique: Maximum stability is achieved only when the vehicle's acceleration, braking, and cornering forces are balanced. Practicing good cornering technique can help maintain stability when cornering.
