Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 ive changed the front bush's and now the car seems to oversteer how much do my tire pressures or suspension settings come into play? ive got an e30 320i on 15" 225's (40psi front,33psi rear)with koni adjustable's, should i soften the suspension in the back and take some pressure out? is there an online guide for this? my meaning of oversteer is the back just starts to slide out, and i know i can go faster round this particular corner, by about 20k, more simply i used to go round it at 85 and start to understeer now i go round at 65 and start to oversteer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Obviously means your front is stickier than the back, so either tighten the front up a little and soften the rear, or increase the front pressure and let a little out of the back until you have a balance, or maybe a combination of both? Really is a trial and error process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Autolign on Carbine Road. Or Suspention Tech on Andromeda Cresent in East Tamaki. They are the pros for wheel alignments. Autolign align many race cars. They are the cheaper of the two. About $70 for a full state of the art alignment by alignment pros. Personaly I don't bother with tyre shops. Very few of them know what they are doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you run a LSD or single spinner ? somebody might offer opinion if that will make a big difference with stiffer springs/quality shocks like you have. I am very interested in how you go as I have fitted koni adjusrables to my car and expeirenced very similar results to what you did. i still have not fitted a rear swaybar either.

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 well the front could have to in or toe out causing it to behave wrong in the rear its singles spinner there bridgestone somthing 2, directional tires all round 225/15/50 the rims should fit 205's tho lol and there will be no rear sway bar going in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
