Handling issues

Post by Dino » Mon Oct 15, 2012 7:22 pm

Got a few handling issues..
Car feels very vague and I'm sliding all over the place.
Nearly put car in hedge.
Running oem dampers and pressures are at the tyres recommended 50pi max.

Can anyone help?

Ammo's your man for sliding all over the road! :lol:

:shock:

I run mine at 32PSI, running them that high, surely you are going to be running too much on the centre of the tire?
