i have noticed that on freeways with lots of wind, it is a real pain to drive the car, im always fighting the wind going back and fourth back and fourth, and was wondering if a small lip spoiler would help this. Or anythign that would help me keep the car more stable in strong gusts of wind. thanks!
Try a stiffer suspension setup. That may help.
Uhhhh . . . don't drive on windy days? Get a more aerodynamic car that is low and unaffected by wind? Uhhhh...
Its wind! There is nothing you can do to get around it, lol. The most you can really do is get better suspension and lower the car. Thats about it.
Yeah sometimes it can be a real PITA Especially when your hands aren't on the wheel and your driving with your knee. Not that I do that all the time

Suspension upgrade(if you haven't done it yet), sway bars (upgrade front and rear), these things help.
dude, what kinda wind are you driving in, are you ignoring the EVACUATE signs?

the aerodynamic car part
my bro had a 2000 camaro one of the most lowered car around here stock and that bad ass can still be effected by the winds. 25 winds and 35+ gusts and you can feel it with new suspension on it! no matter what the winds you can feel it in the car! just ingore it you should make it out of the winds alive unless your driving threw huricans and tornados!

Yes these things do help, but I dont think these will help with what he is talking about. Hes not having handling issues or excess body roll, the wind will affect the car by coming from the side and head on by getting underneath the car. Basically on a windy day drive a little slower and grip the steering wheel a little harder.
If you can find a bigger one get it.
It will greatly reduce the wind effects. Just make sure it is angled downward to keep the car down in the back end not up. You will be going straight as an arrow.
Everything I say is the truth and I learned it all here.

LOL thats funny
but i do have the same prob with my base
it's called Cross-Wind...especially on highways it's bad. I doubt any suspension upgrade is going to do it. You got 30-45 mph winds going across it's going to move your car. Happens to me allt he time
yup its cross winds, and im rolling on TEIN SS, so um no further upgrade needed. Im going to try to get some sway bars and strut tower braces, but holy crap this sucks. The ws6 does not really have this problem, well it does its just alot more managable.
it's called physics kids.
maybe open both windows cause theres not much you can do pliots add more thrust in cross-winds just ask the pliot the ran off the runway in toronto can, what two sticks did he forget to pull back on when landing(air france) when the winds hit 20 -30 and the roads are icey here i try to stick in the middle lane and i slow the hell down

I definatly noticed a big diffrence in how wind pushed me after i was lowered and Kited, for the most part it lets less wind under your car, you which makes you lighter, which makes you "feel" the wind more.
