i very much doubt u get torque steer :lol: :lol:

but

your on standard suspension, on bigger wheels, your expecting it to handle well?

make it handle better

front and back ARB
coil overs
turbo lower arms
turbo rack
poly bushes all round
front strut brace
rear strut brace
full weld in cage
Zs rear beam

the list goes on ;)

The ZX is natural a GGOD handling car, its basically a 306, but people says it handles better than a 306 anyways.

Thats why :)
