It seems like my car (granted it has a heavier 6 cylinder engine) the rear end follows and sometimes leans over whilst following the front end in a turn, feeling somewhat unsafe. Should I have to avoid something or snap quickly with a turn it feels like it could skid out easily. I have all new suspension/steering components and a square wheel setup. Would a stiffer front spring help or stiffer rear shocks? I have lowered the pressure in my front tires to 35 and left the rear at 40psi.

This is a brace that fits under the car and tightens the suspension....easy bolt on installation. I got it when other track drivers told me that my rear suspension looked loose through tight corners...makes a noticable difference. | | | 03-08-2018, 06:53 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2017 Location: KY Posts: 109 | Interesting. | | | 03-09-2018, 02:18 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2017 Location: KY Posts: 109 | Very expensive. | | | 03-18-2018, 11:55 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Dec 2017 Location: NoVA Posts: 49 | You'd want more pressure in the front than the rear more than likely, but definitely go with a wider tire in the back. With some fender rolling you can easily fit a 265 andaybe even a 275. Also make sure camber and toe are within spec - weld in adjustment plates if needed.

Driver side missing ECS rric bolts, going to install them this week and set it up better. | | | 03-23-2018, 04:41 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2017 Location: KY Posts: 109 | Ended up installing Eccentric Bolts in the rear drivers side to adjust the toe and Camber which were both way off. Luckily someone else had installed the adjustment plates prior but did not put eccentric bolts in place, just standard bolts. This and replacing my failing rear bushing made a substantial difference. Car already had upgraded subframe bushings. | | | 03-23-2018, 08:18 PM | #8 | Member Join Date: Dec 2017 Location: NoVA Posts: 49 | Sweet! I have no idea why someone would put non-eccentric bolts into elongated holes - what a bad move! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
