first post
but i have a turboed car and the sensation you are feeling is not a suspension problem... its your tire, prob... go wider 245 or if you can 275s especially w/ the turbo kit how many psi are running??? when you're engine is boosting around the corner you are loosing traction slightly, not burning out or anything but little slips of the tire cuase our back end to 'float' i second the post about going to a high perf driving school if you plan on mountain carving at high speeds.
thats my two cents

get an alignment. have your caster checked.

 

I guess I'll drive it safer until I get a chance to purchase even wider tires. I don't normally drive very spirited on corners. Every now and then I do change lanes at hwy speeds suddenly, and the floating caught me off guard, that's all. I will try and get the allignment looked at this week also.

There is this s2000 autocross at mw saturday where you do can some testing. Could use a little color in among all the silver, black, and whites. quote "Spa Yellow with Blue Pearl Flames Veilside Millenium Kit Phantom GT-R's in 17" and 18" Underbody LED Kit Smoked Lights"

Adding my $.02:

225's that aren't S02/S03's in the rear is too small (as others suggested)-- I'd recommend 245's in the rear if going with a different brand.

Same goes for the front, if not using S02's, I'd (well.. I do) run 225's in the front.

Currently I'm using Yokohama A032R's, R-Compound. There's two versions, S and H. I believe they relate to Soft/Hard (eg. Autocross/street). The R-compound tires are primarly for auto-cross (Though I tend to be lazy and don't always switch back to S02s).

I've found that (at least for the yokos) running 30 in the rear, and 33 in the front (checked and pressured while the tires are HOT) is the 'optimum' setup where I get a nice balace of over to under steer.

Running higher pressures in the front caused me to plow in corners, while running higher pressures in the rear caused my ass-end to slip out too much.

So.. I guess I'm saying you might want to play with your tire pressures in a parking lot (set your self up some cones).

How old are your shocks? Maybe you blew one of your front shocks out, which could cause an unstable rear end in transitions. If you didn't have this problem before with the same setup, then it would probably be due to alignment or shocks.
