Default Is this driving feel normal?

Okay, first off, no my car is not an R... I'm sorry okay? Its a 94 ls...

I put on the R shocks/springs yesterday, and I notice that the tail comes out a lot easier now. I've had the jdm 23 rear mm bar for quite sometime, but I've never noticed the tail this willing to slide out until after the install of the springs and shocks.

Is this normal because of the itr rear lca? I've read on this board that the itr rear lca induce more oversteer.

So my question is, is this normal? Is this how your itr feels like?

by the way, I'm rolling on gaydm 14inch steelies with shietlien tires.

Would the fact that I have yet to get my wheel alignment after this a contributing factor to this? or does wheel alignment play more of a role on how tires wear? By the way, I am supposed to get all 4 wheels aligned and not just he front two right? (sorry newbie question dont flame)

Yes, I am very happy with these R components, and I look forward to learning on how to drive on them, and utilize them to a very high potential. I envy you ppl with R's that have this stuff stock. I now finally have a small taste of what you ppl get.

Get the wheel alignment.

Bad tires = bad ride.

Do you know how to manage throttle-lift oversteer and the likes?

to answer your question, get everything in place as best as you can, then learn to drive the setup well and it will be your best friend.

your alignment is probably all screwed since you changed the suspension and ride height.

GET AN ALIGNMENT

logic would dictate to get all four done, as you swaped all 4 corners.

Technically you are supposed to get an alignment every time that you change anything on your suspension.
