So here's what I'm experiencing.
Under hard acceleration, in gears 2,3,4, I can break it loose with just a twitch of the steering wheel. 5th I cannot as it is a flipped H. I looked at the car from the rear and realized I've got probably 3 degrees of negative camber on each side. I'm thinking those 11" Pilot Sports are probably only making contact with half of the tread. The inner half. Is their an adjustment balance of negative camber, for maximum traction, under hard acceleration and hard turning? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Not to mention the car probably squats a little more when you blip the throttle.
Rear anti-sway bar? Stiffer springs? BTW: Mine does that also with 245/50's. Throttle steering can be fun the first couple times. Then it's time to re-think things. |
