whats needed to make a S2 RST go round corners properly?

Postby mrviper on Thu Oct 06, 2005 10:16 pm

i have a problem with my s2 when taking corners at high speed (90+ mph)and coming out the other side the car wants to snake all over the road and is a right hand ful to keep it out of the hedge!!


i could take the same corner in my xr2i faster and be able to streighten up no problem without feeling like i'm going to die verry soon!

so is there any try'd and tested set-up that works well on a s2?

adjustable tca's
rose jointed link bars
coilovers and springs both matched to the spec of your car then get it corner weighted.
Quality tyres too of course :wink:

Sure there is a few other things too
