Car weighs a ton! Stock ride height. And probably out of alignment.

Suggestion: 1. Get car aligned and lowered a bit by best shop you can find (rear sensitive to bump steer issued when lowered tooo much!)...and/or 2. slow down.

 

In fact it weighs 1.62 tonnes in a not loaded configuration... Still only 150kg more than the GT3...

 

sounds like some understeer in there too if he was approaching the turn too fast and tried to turn. Sway bar will solve that.

 

I have H&R coil overs for years and have never experienced this instability although I have much different alignment than stock.

you just need a decent coilover and a decent alignment spec and you'll be fine.

 

Get GT3 rear sway bar to start. i also recommend JIC over PSS9s to avoid bump stop issues in the rear.

 

Guys , will bad sway bar link cuase this ??? cuase im also expeirencing this , but i have H&R coilovers ...... sway bar links is the only thing i can think of,

and Oak, when cornerbalancing does it make that much of a difference ?

 

Do what Dez has done,Slam it to the floor and dial in 2.5 d's of neg camber

 

GT3 sway bar in th rear dialed all the way to the tightest setting will make a HUGE difference. I had this same problem in long sweepers and this made a huge difference. IMO corner balance won't make that big of a difference.

 

I dont know if anyone has eluded to this but it does also depend on how fast he was going and trying to turn at the same time. You shouldnt be trying to go around curves at 130+ miles an hour the car is going to feel like it's floating because you dont have the right downforce to take corners at that speed. There is way too much lift, this does not make the car bad at handling, but you still have to remember your driving a street car and taking highway turns at speeds way to high you are not going to be able to control the car like you will at 20 mph. At that point it becomes stupidity that needs to be resolved. (I know because I've done it, once and never again)

 

I agree with heavychevy, but these cars should be able to take sweeping turns at a high rate of speed. I agree 130+ is probably excessive, but 80-90 should not feel like this.
I guess what I feel is that on long sweeping turns at high speeds, the car's rear end seems to shift its weight from left to right and back a few times. Almost like it is bouncing off one side of the suspension to the other side. Hope that makes some sense.

 

heavy chevy ..... not true i have the same poblem and i have H&Rs , and my stock evo 9 does NO PROBLEM around the same turn same speed ...

could it be that the stock sway bar links are shot ? and there for the sway bar is loose ? im suprised no one has mentioned that yet.

 

You have asked this like 3 times...if part of your suspension is shot, you would probably have more problems than just poor handling in curves at high speed. The problem could be any one or combination of: alignment, loose sway bar, worn out springs, improperly installed components...etc...you get the point?

 

indeed , im taking to mike levitas but it wont for a hile yet there super bussy.

 

So how fast are you taking that turn anyways????????

 

like about 90 -100 ish or so and not a closed turn...like a long bend ...and its scary as hell , i feel like im gonna hit the car next to me on the median in the middle...
