Problems with coilovers - help??



since fitting my FK coilovers my car feels very tail happy - any one got any ideas , I have had the camber and tracking done, but it feels very unsafe at the moment - to the point where I am tempted to go back to o.e and just stick some Apex springs on (kind of wish I had done that in the first place now!)
 
just checked the pressures on the back tyres and they were quite high - i had new tyres last week - one side was set at 35psi and the other at 33psi which is more than I have ever put in a tyre so have taken them both down to 30psi - have to go work in an hour so will test it then.
 
yeah tell me about it - have to work nights for 3-7 days a month - no big deal though - get 3 days off afterwards. Plus means Im going home when everyone else is getting up and feeling crap. Its only til friday night plus it means if there is anything I need to do during the day I can

he has actually pete, i'm stumped by it, i can't figure it out

it must be dodgy tyre pressures, or incorrectly fitted suspension
 
definately seems a bit better at the rear - did not push too much as Im nakered and booting it around cardiff at 7.00am aint a good idea!
The main problem I have now is tramlining - the car pulls all over the road under hard acceleration - to the point where its hard to keep it in the correct lane - any ideas other than gettin rid of my 17 inch wheels. Seriously o.e with apex springs are looking tempting at the moment - gutted I sold my eibach pros and spax rsx gas rear shocks now. If I was to buy H&R's would the handling be better?

If they are new then it must be the setup - geom and/or cornerweights...

Just make sure everything is tightened up..
 
shocks were second hand - covered about 8000 miles miles - they were bought in may 2005. Have gone from a car that handled amazingly and looked a bit crap to a car that looks great but handles shite
