****car feels like its sliding****
hey whats up everyone.
i was taking my car up the On Ramp. it curves pretty wide out. so i take it at approx 40ish. the car seems to be sliding to the side a little bit. it doesnt feel like the car is understeering though. almost as if im literally sliding. what can i do to counter-act this? i have an RSX type S with front strut bar and a rear upper bar, but no rear strut bar. car has dunlop fm901 and 17" regamasters lowered on tein basics. 1.3 degrees camber in front, 2.25 degrees in the rear. sway bars are all stock. car is full interior. is the car sliding cuz its too heavy? any help would be great guys.

oh i also had the tires warm from about 5 miles of travelling. not sure if that was enough warm up though. as for the camber, what should i do for the rear? bring it down a degree?

car is considerably lowered compared to stock. the tein basics are not very stiff. 10K front 7K rear.

Re: (integra type s)
Funny u mention this Tom, last night i took one hell of a turn and pushed my car to test my new suspension. I Felt the car was solid. Almost felt like the tires were pushed to there limit of grip. Didnt here it in an audible fashion but felt it. So not to thread jack but letting u know thats a GOOD DAMN QUESTION!!!
im using hancook tires, so thats probably my issue

lower the camber to about 1-1.5 see how that does and if u feel that the car sticks better keep giving it less and less camber until u feel the car handles like u like it,thats if u have a camber kit for the rear otherwise might be a little hard to figure out what the best set-up is. just remember that ur tire has best traction when it is perfectly flat with the road surface so the point of camber is to get the tire closer to being flat as u push the car harder and harder but u have to consider that ur car has alot less body roll now bc of the stiffer suspension so exesive camber can result in bad handling like u were experiencing
