Default Front end problems

I just put a set of ground controls and koni yellows and now my front end seems a little lose. Like it feels like when i step on the gas the car wants to togo the right but when i brake it trys to goto the left. No everything on the front end is tight i check it all before i put the car back on the ground. it is a 200 prelude with new tires and the suspension mentioned above. Thanks for helping out.

P.S. could this be cause by the front being a little different it hieght (dont think it is just thought i would tell you what i was thinking)

I was always told if you mess with anything suspension, you should get an alignment...

if you have it too low you may need a camber kit and an alignment....while your doing that, you might as well get energy susupension bushings...

Then yes. You need to go and get some alignment readings and see whats up. You could have done more damage then you think with just a minor accident. Go get it checked out and go from there.

I realized last week I have put 35k on my car without getting an alignment! LOL! I got one and holy good god it drives so much better.

Ok first i would just like to say that A. the car is not that low (1.5 inch or so) and B. i have not hit anything. and i have had 2 alignments in the past 2 weeks and i am afraid of going back for another since they have to do if for free but i like these guys and dont want to **** them off. but i was thinkin the shocks could be set up different so i will check that tonight.

I thought I had read somewhere recently that the ES m. mounts or inserts are great, but the bushings are so rigid it actually makes it a uncomfortable ride... And that they are also rated to not last near as long as OEM ones do. Personally, I am just going to get oem bushings....

On another note, we just dropped this sick z6 into a crx the other weekend, and the dude just filled the gaps in his motor mounts with polyurethane caulking. His motor doesn't move at all now lol...and it cost all of 5 bucks..

Check all the parts that you had to loosen up and tighten up all of them because after dropping mine i had same problem, but mine was because i didnt fit the control arms on right.
