^lol he's right


our cars are built with MAD understeer. I know from experience (trying to show off in a wet parking lot....).

some steps you can take to help correct that would be beefing up your rear sway bar and looking into tires.




i'm going for the whole shocks/struts/poly bushings setup with beefier sways for mine

I get this when i try to do donuts. I'm going to look into new shocks and sway bars. Would that help? Anybody know?

Are you making the tight turns in one direction only? like a hard Right or Left turn? Does it do this in Both Directions or just one Direction? If you are making a Hard Right hand turn It could be the Drive line tire lifting on then off the ground making the hole car shake. Do you have a LSD installed?

I have no LSD installed, happens on both directions I think. Here is a pic of my tires, maybe they are just gigantor lol



It kind of bubbles on the bottom too, and the PSI of the tires is not low. (Front Tire BTW)

mine used to do that... until I put on a rear sway bar,

i'm telling you it has to be the understeer - these cars come from the factory with big understeer, good way to get rid of it seems to be to upgrade your rear sway and to put a gt takeoff front sway bar, with prothane bushings

It is fine in fast hard straight take offs? Do you have a Auto or Manual?
