handling Help!
Question...
...I have Tein RA's and was wondering if the higher the click meaning turning it right towards 18 for example means the stiffer it is right? then the sitffer it is, the faster the turn i take the more itll bounce on it right?
Reason i say this is b/c before i got hit from the back a few months back My car was riding PERFECT. Now, since the accident, the rear right side is about 3/4s of an inch HIGHER then the rest of the 3 and when i take a turn now the car doesnt give me the sign of losing grip but rather sliding. and I'm talking about taking a turn on the FW (so its basically a wide like half a circular turn, i dono how to explain it sorry) usually when the turn is on the right side. Why is this?
Is it b/c of hte suspension setting? I touched it up after the accident when i encoutnered this problem and it hasnt' felt the same since. Can someone help me fix this annoying problem b/c i dont feel all that safe nemore going fast (not that I do nemore relaly instead of a random out of the blue it happens) on a wide turn liek that. It feels as if the car keeps sliding w/out warning its bout to spin out so I dont even try to see how it actually is cuz its scaryier then ever. I never got scared with this car but now it really gest you worried when doing so.
What should i try my setup its Tein RA's SLAMMMMMMED all the way ( I know its bad but it was good enough for all taht time and after the accident and taht sudden 3/4 inch rise on one side the handling became a bit of an issue). Shoudl i make the ride a bit stiffer?

Re: handling Help! (S@nt0s)
I took it to Spugen they said the suspension is perfect. I can't recall who i spoke with or where but they said it "might" be the frame that might be a lil screwed up.

Re: handling Help! (SwpR)
I wouldn't call spugen a suspension expert......
What exactly did they "look" at to say its fine?
I'm sure they just looked under there and everything was bolted on and bushing are kool....
Take it to a good alignment shop to check everything out ... Your suspension geometry might be off causing a problem or a good body shop can tell u if the frame is tweaked

Oo. Where should igo then?
I wanted 2 check n see if the chasis was bent but the body shop said it was perfect n another said it'll cost a few thousand to fix if its not lined up right.
Spugen, the guy checked it from underneath n s forth then drove it n said its fine the reason I asked about the settings is bc he changed it n touched it without me wanting to. He said its cuz of that but it itns n that its worse. He even measured it 3/4 inch off fromn the rest.

Re: handling Help! (S@nt0s)
lmaoo guys guess what, found the asnwer (or at least im hoping this is teh asnwer) to this issue. we shall find out in about 24 hrs once i get my new tires n rims installed FINALLY AFTER A 5 MONTH WAIT!
the tires currntly on my car have about 80% thread in the front, prob a year old RE750's so assumed always had a lot of thread, now i accidently checked the back tires today and its ******* BALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the reason why this wasn't evident is b/c the sidewall part where some thread is on the edge is almsot 60% there but the middle is GONEEEEEEEE!
I am rpetty sure this is the reason why a 80mph curve on the freeway the *** slides as oppose to when it was possible at 100 plus.
