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

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

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
