I bought a used 05 S2K that came with Eibach pro springs on stock shocks, for some reason everytime I go through corners ( the road is not perfect ) with around 75mph. I tend to have pretty much of oversteer and understeer, im just having a hard time follow the line and keeping my car stable. I just got four new tires, they're all Z rate, so they should have a lot of grip. Or could this be caused by my alignment? Also, my steering wheel is tilted to the right a little bit, not much, could this be the reason? Or is it because of my car dont have TCS and VSA?? Anyone have the same problem??!! HELP ME PLZ!!!???

 

"Z rate" means nothing. Exactly what tires do you have? Yes, Alignment can make a huge difference. As for the springs, that's debatable.

 

you definitly need to get an alignment if your steering wheel is tilted to the side, or else those expensive z rated tires will wear out fast. i bought my prelude like that and i had bubbles on my tires from uneven wear. i wouldnt think the springs would have a negative impact on your handling, even with stock struts. the alignment might help but get it done SOON!

 

i have the Dunlop on the front and Toyo on rear

 

1. get an aggressive street alignment
i have been running eibachs with stock shocks for almost 4 years now- handling is better than stock... the alignment made my difference-

2. post up more pics of that clean car (looks like a nice shine on that silver car) in the w&w and pm me for the badge that is missing from your posts!!

 

Problem #1, get matching tires. I think I remember you made a thread in the socal forums too...eibachs don't make handling worse.

 

seems to be trend of new s owners including myself that the car has a squirly feeling. theres a time to get familiar with the car. for the first few miles i doubted the car, now it does nothing less than shred any turn.

 

Quite possibly in the wrong size as well. If you have the stock sizes in these tires, then the rears are too narrow.

 

try to do the up front stuff as much as you can and get an alignment fast.
-swap the tires left/right
-verify proper inflation, size
-look over the suspension, verify everythings as it needs to be.

do some research on where to get this aignment in your area. get a printout of the old and new settings. drive with caution till you are familliar with the new suspension settings.

consider returning to stock and or buy good coilovers.

 

ahaha yea i was stupid and bought my car with the same problem...stock s02's up front...and 225(wtf?!?!) pirelli p zero nero's on the back..(WTMF its an ALL SEASON dammit)...

my car tends to oversteer a SHITLOAD so i just use it to my advantage and drift around corners hahahaha....

oversteer on a RWD car is a blessing not a curse.... to the right drivers...


once the rears are done from my drifting i'm gonna put stock s02's in the back...
