I was driving on the hwy, I felt I was gonna do a wheelie on the hwy(freeway) after going just about 150. I have an MY03 AP1, no front lip, OEM bumper, side strakes and OEM spoiler (not wing). I dont know what to do to make the nose stay down.

I'm interested in a local CR lip+AP2 bumper. Will the lip help considering the design looks like it's suppose to push the air up. If that CR lip wont do, what mod should I do to make that front stay down?

Thanks!

Put an overweight friend on top of ur hood

& ur ready to go

I think your best bet is to just slow down.

I'm gonna be blunt. Your mechanic is a moron. Find a new one. If hitting a curb or anything is what it takes to get a alignment out of wack I would have been broke for a long time. Take it from an alignment tech, find someone who knows even a little about suspension geometry.

Apr front splitter or beatrush underpanel will help with front downforce but without something in the rear the rear will become unstable.

Don't know if this has anything to do with helping you. I've been having problems also. Mine was when I was taking turns to the left. The car felt like it was all over the road and lifting. Tires were nearly bald. Didn't think this was the issue, but replaced them. Low and behold, not the problem. Next I did a front end alignment. Was told the toe might be out. Alignment wasn't bad and did not correct. I finally took it to my mechanic...looks like I had a broke tie rod end(I believe). The part is in tomorrow. I'll let u know if it fixed it.

Doubt this info will help, but thought I'd drop that out there just in case.
