    get an alignment and wheel balance done bro, you can damage your car driving it like that

    are the tyres new or 2nd hand? when i had alignment issues, my old front tyres got absolutley screwed up. even when all my alignment issues were fixed those tyres would send my car all over the place. so if they are 2nd hand tyres than they might be all frayed and shit. just a thought anyway mate, good luck with it. you should probably still get an alignment and balance though like 'Showoff' suggested.......

    try swapping the fronts for the rears and see if that helps, unless the rears are stuffed too lol then you should probably get some new tyres on the front and leave the shit ones on the rear and just spin the rears up whenever you can lol thats what I did

    theres always gonna be a certain amount of 'bump steer" and "tram lining" when u switch to mags especially on a lowered car, wheel alignment and balance should get it as good as it can be. Any tyre place like bob jane ot beurepairs etc should sort u out cheaply enough.

    dont know about illegal lol but definately not recommended. different tyres will most likely have different compounds and will grip/wear/handle differently to each other so that may even be a contributor to the bad handling......
