trailblazer handling - 1/26/2008 2:54:18 PM    ajth87   Posts: 2 Joined: 1/26/2008 Status: offline Hey everyone.  I am new to this forum and a planned Trailblazer purchaser.  I plan on purchasing a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer but just had a couple questions for current owners and others experienced with this model trailblazer.  First of all I have read a lot on the internet that the handling on the trailblazer is no good.  I have read though that they run great and are a very comfortable drive. I really like the way they look and the performance specs that I have read about impress me also.  But of course I am concerned with the handling.  I dont need sports car handling but I was wondering what upgrages are available that would help the handling.  I dont want to sacrifice too much ride comfort but i do want so upgrade that allows fast corner taking with less body roll but still comfort in everyday driving.  Any opinions/advice on this. Thank you. Post #: 1

The coil spring rear will make it feel soft in the rear when cornering, but I only notice that because I drive a leaf-rear vehicle. _____________________________ NOMINATE someone for Ride Of The Month!!!
