Coilover question...

[ChrisUlrich]

Megan Racing Coilovers are in the spotlight here.

The car feels very snappy and responsive, but the ass end feels very loose. It feels like it's gonna kick out at any moment when jerking the wheel back and forth (at about 50 or so). This does not occur when doing this in my friends Eibach Sportline/Hotchkis Sway bar setup.

Also, I know what torque steer feels like, so cross that option out.

When i'm doing speeds in excess of 60-70 or so... the car is planted to the ground, but very wobbly. It's hard to explain, but it doesn't feel solid, just feels level. To test this out and make sure it wasn't torque steer, I got the car up to 130 and coasted to 80 or so. The car kinda pulls itself in certain directions, almost like following the terrain. Again, this does not occur my friends Eibach Sportline/Hotchkis sway bar setup.

alignment back to spec? odd camber and toe will make the handling very twitchy.

I've heard this occurs because of the binding in the control arms. Many people have replace them with arms from Manny Z which have helm joints on both ends which eliminates the binding. Just a thought

Car needs an alignment now because I adjusted height... but before this the car did not. Drive in a straight line with no issue.

The car handles great when i'm in the turn, but if I jerk the wheel back and forth, I can feel the ass end almost kicking out. Also, if i'm driving on the highway, the wheel wants to follow every dip and hole. Is this normal? It's also VERY VERY rocky. Doesn't hit bumps hard, but the car just bounces all over the place because of the Jersey roads. haha

Think maybe it's the dampners being set wrong? Spring preload being off?

No one?

get it aligned. uneven camber and toe can make the car to funky things.
