Handling help!
Question...
...I have Tein RA's and was wondering if the higher the click meaning turning it right towards 18 for example means the stiffer it is right? then the sitffer it is, the faster the turn i take the more itll bounce on it right?
Reason i say this is b/c before i got hit from the back a few months back My car was riding PERFECT. Now, since the accident, the rear right side is about 3/4s of an inch HIGHER then the rest of the 3 and when i take a turn now the car doesnt give me the sign of losing grip but rather sliding. and I'm talking about taking a turn on the FW (so its basically a wide like half a circular turn, i dono how to explain it sorry) usually when the turn is on the right side. Why is this?
Is it b/c of hte suspension setting? I touched it up after the accident when i encoutnered this problem and it hasnt' felt the same since. Can someone help me fix this annoying problem b/c i dont feel all that safe nemore going fast (not that I do nemore relaly instead of a random out of the blue it happens) on a wide turn liek that. It feels as if the car keeps sliding w/out warning its bout to spin out so I dont even try to see how it actually is cuz its scaryier then ever. I never got scared with this car but now it really gest you worried when doing so.
What should i try my setup its Tein RA's SLAMMMMMMED all the way ( I know its bad but it was good enough for all taht time and after the accident and taht sudden 3/4 inch rise on one side the handling became a bit of an issue). Shoudl i make the ride a bit stiffer?

well, all things being equal your car shouldnt be running 3/4" higher on one side if you didnt change your settings. Something's not right with your suspension/frame - thats down to the bodyshop doing substandard work when they fixed the repair.

Sorry, don't speek leet. I am having a very hard time understanding what you are trying to say.
The car corners well in one direction but not the other? Try bringing your ride height up all the way around and reset all your coilovers to the same settings.
