Just wondering what might be causing it, other than the fact the car is lowered a little on standard dampers (Have some protech dampers coming to myself in the near future anyway), or the only other thing i can think of causing it would be the tyres on my new wheels. Theyre falken FK07E tyres on 10's , only done a couple hundred miles on them now, and my old tyres were the Falken ZE912 on my old 12's and didnt really find them a problem tbh. Opinions welcome, Toe is perfect, front camber is about -0.5 to -1 degree, castor is as factory, the rear i havent got much of a clue about, but it looks to have slight negative camber and doesnt crab at all.

Could be anything mechanical....even your driving style to be honest. What exactly is the car doing? Not sure what Skitches means.......... Edited by Jason G on 18th May, 2011. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

You say caster is as factory. this makes me think that you have asumed that it is as it was, even though you have lowered the rear and added camber to the front.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

Double check all the front subframe mounts, if they are not solid.

Front subframe is solid mounted, the castor is definately as factory as i have adjustable heavy duty tie rods and had that done with front toe, the car sits about level front to rear, maybe ever so slightly higher on the rear. What i think is happening is that the dampers arent really doing a lot, and according to a friend, the cars bouncing a little too much, so im guessing as it bounces its lifting the rear wheels upward slightly, then skitching a tiny bit over to whichever way the G's are pulling Edited by Carlzilla on 19th May, 2011.
