    Flooring it and the light steering wheel/not tracking well

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Need some advice. When I'm flooring my car/stage 1 epl. The car is very fast but I notice the steering is light and it doesn't track well at first car feels like it's allover not really a good feeling. All my suspension is stock. What should I do? Get a rear sway with moog end links. Both sways replaced or just get the cr15. I just feel like the front end of my car is allover the rest I'm happy with cornering etc. Thanks everyone.

    The main culprit for me were the stock tires but the upgraded x brace helps a lot too.

    FWIW, my car does the same thing to some degree and you can see all of the modifications in my signature. I'm not sure what would definitively solve that issue.

    Honestly I feel that its torque steer. Happens to me at times.
    Life has taught me never try to make something idiot proof, they'll simply come up with a better idiot.
    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
    I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain this to you properly.

    Tires make a world of a difference.
    Suspension also helps a lot. With OEM set up the front end of the car can be quite "squirly" under heavy DIG acceleration especially if accelerating in a turn (ex on-ramp) - all the weight transferred to the rear under acceleration (squat) gives the front a floaty sensation.. I've noticed a substantial improvement after upgrading my shocks (I was lowered on HR springs and OEM shocks) the squat under acceleration was reduced keeping the front more planted. And then recently going with PSS tires this loose sensation is virtually eliminated.
