Default ????answer me this????

I used to have a 96 gt with eibach springs and it handled like it was on rails, super tight and drove straight all the time. now i have this 94 gt with frpp springs that doesnt feel that stable at high speeds around corners, and the worst par is that if there is any kind of a rut in the road the car pulls into it and damn near rips the steering wheel out of my hands. doesnt matter if its on the left or right, does it both ways.

What would cause this???????????[:@]

um worn out suspension. other than that eibach is a far supierior company than frpp. probably a drag set up on your car now and the eibach kit was a road race set up on spring lbs and stuff.

u need either those steeda ball joints or the tie rod ends.
i read in a magazine that when u lower a car this is a common side affect that happens.
so look at the steeda site and figure out which one will help and throw them on.

It's called bump steer because the tierod geometry is off when you lower the car. You either need offset rack bushings or tierod extenders to staighten out the tie rods.
I had the FRPP "C" springs in mine for a long time with no problems.
