vp doesnt handle so well.

[E-T-H-A-N]

okay so i have a vp calais, its on super lows and 17s with federal EVO tyres ( epic grippy) and since i bougt the tyres i have noticed a change but not enough, the car seems to be far to light on the steering, and it wonders all over the road at high speeds wich is pretty dangerous, i do know that the calais has load sensative steering so the faster i go the damper the steering gets but it doesnt make enough diffrence, does anyone have any ideas ? i was thinking a heavyer sway bar by whiteline or something like that but i really have no idea with this sort of stuff. any help would be apreciated!!

cheers, Ethan.

do have adjustable strut tops? lowering would have changed your camber. original sway bar rods? i changed to the aftermarket bent ones with nolathane bushes helped a bunch... just an idea...

i do have adjustable strut tops, but i havent had a play around with them and all the bushes have been replaced and so have the sway bar rods.

Check wheel balancing, condition of shocks, condition of front radius rod, sway bar and control arm bushes. A problem rack and pump only come into play with parking, full lock, with overall road holding not so much. Strut tops wouldn't be so much of a problem either only if the camber is out. Get a proper wheel alignment and make sure all front bushes are good

i know all the bushes are good, and none of my rods are bent. the shocks are pretty piss pour, do you think that could be the problem ?? ive been told using v8 spec springs and shocks it would firm it up a fair bit, ??

get a wheel alignment 1st up and see what it does. Good quality shocks will help. As for springs - really depends on the balance of the car. V8 might fronts will stiffen it up no question but you might find it gives the car too much over steer. I'd look at putting in some quality shocks - kyb are a good budget option or you can spend as much as you like up the scale from there. I doubt springs are your problem - maybe shocks if they are totally rooted. Not enough castor or camber will make the car feel very nervous at speed. Setting the angles correctly will make a world of difference.

yeah i might look into that option, cheers reaper.
