Let me guess.. Low profile street tires, and coilover spring rates far exceeding the damping ability of the (old, worn out) struts.

not low pro but yes shitty coil-overs with stock shocks.. still managed to run a 14.1 at 98mph all motor b16a in an EG hatch tonight... i think its ok.. my suspension was one area that i really overlooked with my car..

i forgot to mention my wheelhop was not as much of a problem tonite... i lowered my tire pressure to about 19psi.. still got a little but made a big difference the last time i went to the track my best time was 14.4... so i think the lower tire pressure helped my 60' alot.
