So I never have a real review of the suspension. So we all know that our cars have bad oversteer. After the Panhard Bar and Torque Arm the car actually has understeer. The back end is super controlled and only let go on me once, but I was also flooring it through a corner on my last run. All the other times the front end washed out instead.

No matter what the car felt so much better with the items.

Running some positive toe will help reduce sime of that understeer you're getting but it won't go away completely until you run a square wheel/tire setup

Well I'll need to find a way to fit 10" up front then lol

Eh these cars don't really need a large wheel setup unless you're pulling some major G's with a fine tuned suspension setup. My 255s never lost traction in turns. But a SLA setup will allow you to run up to 315s up front

It's doable with spacers, I've seen it before, but I think 315s are just way too much on the front

They have the events on Saturday and Sunday. So its happening again right now, but i couldn't make it because of work. The plan so far for mods is:

1. Coilovers
2. Aluminum Driveshaft (vibrations at high speed)
3. Drilled/Slotted Brakes.... HPS Pads... Stainless Brake lines Font/Rear
4. Tires

I'm thinking of using the stock wheels and getting a set of NT01s, since they won't last too long on my car as a daily. I'll keep the summer tires on the Deep Dish Bullitts. Either that and go Dunlops on the Deep Dish wheels and daily those since they should last a fair amount of time, but thats more expensive cause of the staggered 18s.

Video uploading to YouTube as we speak.

Don't bother going with drilled rptors, the extra cooling really isn't worth it when slotted will cool them off just fine. Running a set of square 17s will also help save some weight and reduce rotating mass, so that's always a nice benefit. Honestly with you running a staggered setup I would expect a lot more understeer than over steer, but I'm also running arch more exaggerated setup than you are, is it cause of the torque arm and Panhard bar that you're getting so much overstteer?

+1^ and a little toe up front will help with steering response in a turn

Yea i meant to say understeer. I keep getting the 2 confused lol.

That makes a lot more sense, our cars tend to take a lot to oversteer on a consistent basis. Adding some positive toe will help with the understeer along with a square wheel setup.

Sometimes I really hate threads like these cause it makes me want to go race my car some more
