Drove my base model on the backroads of Oregon. Lots of windy roads and hairpin turns. Took several hairpin turns that recommend 35MPH, entered the turn at 70MPH, no felt body roll, no wheel control issues and it doesn't have bars or other suspension mod.

There's a similar thread floating around here somewhere. So at the end of the day, if you feel need an upgraded suspension from the base model, why not just get the Z51 from the get go?
