Do you mean like bounce like you just went over a bump? If thats the case, then its just that your coilovers are bouncy, skunk2s are good quality, but coilover sleeves in general are VERY bouncy.

Well 4 me, it's like when im going on a curve something like a " S " but not a very narrow thing, very simple. My car's rear just misses it's tracktion. Seems like a rally kind of a thing.

A few dayz ago i was like taking a long curve turn, n i used my brakes, the car just seemed 2 go straight while the wheels were turned 2 the left. I took my foot of the brake and the car just went out of controll, like going i didn't have a steering.

Thanx.

Hmm I dont know what to tell you sorry.

First off the only pedal you should be touching in a corner is the gas pedal. Brake/downshift before entering the corner. When you were turning the wheels left & going straight - thats understeer.

Darkaccord - check your tire pressures & loosen up the rear end a bit or maybe tighten depending how you have it set now. Rear wheel hop?

Yeah I was thinking maybe of tightening up a bit. Maybe putting a good sway bar would help. I know its to help roll but what about keeping the tires on the ground.

[BullShifter]

Sway bars tie both ends of the suspension together making an independent suspension less independent. Rear sway bar upgrade will definatley help your handling issues.

Basically in a turn the body leans - taking weight off one side. A sway bar should add more weight/force to the opposite side.

Thats exactly what I was thinkin about. Thanks.
