A couple of questions for those more in the know than I.

Twice now I have experienced what I can only describe as a wallowing effect when taking curves at speed with bumps or dips in the road.

I'm wondering if my suspension is setup correctly, if I'm expecting too much from the car or if I'm just starting to find it's limitations?

Do the lower X brace and tower strut brace eliminate this problem?

Is the car more likely to snap oversteer the more rigid the suspension is. i.e If I installed these items ?

The car also seems to handle poorly on corrugated patches of road. It feels as if the tyres are skipping or sliding across them rather than maintaining their grip.

Any clues?

Get both the Spoon X bar -and- a strut tower bar.

The car will stay surefooted on even the roughest of roads (Which we have a lot of in Santa Cruz county)
