Handling has suffered

on the way home from work last night , i decided to push my car a bit, after fitting the 17" wheels and lowering it 1.75" it has got worse since changing from the 175/60/13, is this usual, i thought it would be a bit different but this feels a lot worse really,

all of the shocks are good and all the tyres have the correct pressures too, anything i can do to improve it ?

and dont say do a B16 swap which is the reply to everything on AF lol

cheerz

Jim

do a b16 swap.

Well now what do you mean it has suffered? Ride quality? Road-holding?

:thefinger to marked001

and it seems to wallow arround a corner a bit and when u straighten up after the bend it seems to level out quite quickly (seems to roll quite a bit)

sounds like the shocks AREN'T good then.

well if u push down on them hard then let go quickly it doesnt bounce AT ALL,

odd... what shocks are they? do you have a camber kit on your car?

stock shocks, no camber kit, (doesnt look like it needs one)

could it be the rear bushes because my bro said they r on there way out?

I think it is your stock shocks, and any car could use a new set of bushings, especially a 4g that's 12-15 years old.

Uh, the stock shocks are not designed to be lowered 1.75" yo.

and you NEED a camber kit...let us know how long the inside of the tires last ;)
