Car was out today fr the 1st time since it was bought , , Feels a little bit giddy on back , espically when off and on throttle , Ohlins Coilovers but the rest of the suspension is standard and a kazz 2 way , Jacked it up and no bushings etc gone , , Is there anything that could be bought to stable it up ??

Coilovers all round? how is it giddy? anything with a 2way will be giddy anyway when throtlle is applied

Coilovers all round , , not giddy as in spinning the wheels , On power it seems to pull to one side and when you let off the throttle it seems to jerk back to the other side , more noticable at highspeeds!!

Tires are 225 / 40 / 18 , , will try the tracking!! Would drift arms etc help it?? Are the 14 drift bits the same as the 15 ??

check the thread depths on both tyres on both sides on the back different thread depths will make the car pull to one side, arms will help but without them wouldnt be that bad

sounds tracking related, when i fitted my cambers arms to my old 15 the back of it was all over the gaff till they get set up equally, if one side is lower than the other it could cause a slight problem,

Giddy as in weavy , ,

When on throttle at about 80mph car seems to be pulling to the left , when you let off the throttle it just seems to vere to the right!! This also can be noticed changing from 4th to 5th!! At highspeed only!

sorry for hijacking your thread, but I also have an S15 with similar problems, when accelerating the car pulls to the right, once you let off pedal it pulls to the left, I have coil overs, camber arms and tow arms, standard diff and had car tracked, might look into changing subframe bushings is there anything else it could be? Thanks

subframe locking collars wudnt be a bad buy for it and they are cheap too..

had something simular with a twin cam a set of pollybushns sorted it when under accelleration but i always found that anything with a good tight diff when you would leave off the trottle the rear end would give a slight swap and i mean slight!!!

hardly one of the tires aint on the rite way,like the rotation is off,and if its wavy maybe the anti roll bar has being taking out,like alot of people pull em out for the nct if the bushions are gone in them,so they pass the nct,and another thing,are the coilovers fully adjustable,meybe one is harder than the other,and another thing that mite help,when its getting tracked,bring it to some one who knows what there at,and they can set up the toe perfect,would help alot
