help with NEW daily driver ion2 - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I recently bought a Cheapo dink-box(06 Saturn ION2) for gas mileage.

I'm a little unhappy with some things about it and thought I'd ask some experts. Most of which I can live with but the wandering in a lane is too bad to live with. The dealer has taken the stance of the tire pressure was too high. Which I've tried rotating tires, differing air pressures and checking for wheel weights and any loose bolts-nuts.

The problem is that the car wallows in/out of turns (it runs off the edge of the road all by itself) and the car will not stay put in a lane on the highway (most steering I've ever done in a straight line THAT includes some 1/4 mile and 1 mile passes).

My thoughts are some springs and shocks (eibach and HR do make some lowering springs).

Any other thoughts on it (besides I know you get what you pay for)?

Because I'm seriously thinking about a Mini Cooper (non S (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ).
