handling
 
how can i improve the handling of my 92 es, i cant drive it how i drive my altima, 2 totally diff cars i know but still. I drive the lexus and try to turn fast and stuff like that witht it and it feels like its swerving everywhere, it feels like the body of the car is jello. do that with the altima and u have full control of the car......

How many miles do you have on the suspension parts? Are your tires properly inflated? What tires do you have?

The ES is quite the boulevard cruiser...........decent highway car and excellent city car. I've done backroads in the ES and while the aggressive tires I put on it allowed decent speed thru the corners, the chassis did not encourage it. I was holding onto the steering wheel just to not fall out of the passenger window.

Yea if youre still rolling on the original struts on a 92, they need replacement. You can upgrade the rear sway bar to help the front end stick better. And run a decent set of tires.

yea def replace the old struts and shock absorbers. KYB makes a good set of gas shocks for es300's. with a nice set of rims and tires you should be good. also you could get a set of lowering springs like these. I have those springs on my 94 with 18" rims and pirelli tires and it handles good enough for me.

All you need is a front strut bar (you can install it yourself) and it will feel like a totally different car. I would only do the suspension if it absolutely needs it as those mods get costly.

yea i didnt even think about those things....
