I'm quite surprised I didn't see more of this complaint when I watched and read a million reviews of the car before I bought it.

The car feels fine when you drive it about the speed limit and maybe even a little more than that, but once you start getting near the limit, it is underwhelming handling-wise for being an M to be honest.
This is the biggest knock on the platform imo and the reason we started developing our Nitron kits. At a certain point you just cannot get past being undersprung when pushing it. And increasing the rates with the stock valving creates a whole new set of undesirable characteristics. It's a shame that a car with such potential needs this kind of help right out of the box but it does put a good suspension setup as what I feel to be the best money spent on this platform.
