Spend a bunch of time at AXs and experiment (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I would check your alignment first. Excessive F&R toe in will cause resistance to turn in. Stock settings are very good for a sometimes AX car.

You didn't mention your tires. Tall, limp sidewall tires are not condusive to rapid changes in direction....they ride nice, tho. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Tire pressure is black magic. First you have to know what pressure gives the most grip. Willy nilly changes in pressure are absurd. You have to experiment is a logical manner to find what effect these have. Changing pressures off the ideal for fine handling adjustments are OK for a given specific reason *after* you know that all else is well.

Thses are my opinions and they are mine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
