Info: I'm running sprint 1.5in drop springs(was told 30%-50% stiffer than stock) all around. Stock struts in front, GAB superstrokes 4ways in back. ITR rear swaybar and LCAs. Just put on 15in wheels with tires that could have a bit more tread.

Wierdness: When one of the tires, usually the back right hits a bump or pothole, the back of the car feels like it shimmies that direction. Could the shocks be handling wierdly? or the swaybar compensating to much for the strut response time and the car end pulls?

ideas: .....

Did you get any kind of alignment? maybe a camber or toe adjustment?

I would also recomend getting some aftermarket shocks for the rear.

splitime

Got an alignment the day the wheels went on. And the rear are aftermarkets, GABs. Front is still stock though, until funds allow....

Well I don't know what to tell you other than check your tires, sometimes if one is unbalanced it can cause your car to do that.

splitime

hum, thats a thought, the tires have seen better days. Might do that. Wouldnt be suprised really if they were unbalanced. Oh and anyone know the recommened psi for the stock michelins on the 2000 gsrs?

Daniel

it should say in your door jam on a little sticker. if you don't have that anymore, i could just go out and check my brother's GSR for ya.

Since my car is a civic hb, sticker might be a bit off . If you could check the doorjamb on his car for me that would be awesome.

On my EX the iflation pressures are also listed in the glovebox.

On the street I run about 32 psi.

How this turned into a tire pressure thread, one will never know.

Any more info on this? Was driving around in splitime's car several times and felt this 'wierdness'. Wierd indeed.
