RS182 Full Fat
I have the following dodgy handling characteristics on my 182. Wandering if someone might recognise what it could be.
1. At motorway speeds the steering feels sloppy and slow to respond. I can move the steering wheel left/right a couple inches either way with no change in direction.. it just goes dead straight on. Its very unnerving to not have full control at speed.
2. acceleration at slower speeds and smaller gears will spin the front wheel far too easily, as though there is no grip.
The car has lowered Eibach Sportline Spring Kit, and Whiteline Performance Adjustable Anti-Roll Bar. No other mods that might affect handling. The car has always been like this since i bought it. I thought some new front tyres might help but no joy. I have also done the obvious and paid at 2 different garage for wheel alignment adjustment. But that has just been pouring money down the drain and has changed nothing. Could it be that they are just setting the wheel alignment to predefined settings from a chart, whereas it might need bespoke settings to accommodate the lowered suspension? Or likely something else?
