Twitchy arse

[GingerWizard]

Another one for you all....

My civic seems pretty fking lively at the arse end. It seems to bounce a lot, almost like there is not enough weight at the back? This is only noticable when pushing hard, but it also gives a "shimmy" when cornering hard....

What do you reckon? i am inclined to go and get a full Geo set up carried out, could someone reccommend me one in the south of Kent/ and if they are worth it?. (i don't want some idiot (they are abundent in kent!!!) with a spirit level and a crayon!)

Tell me EP3 owners, is your car a bit frisky on the limit?

Mine is frisky aswell mate, try a FRS, or even a rear JDM ARB.

Lift off oversteer is the one to watch for, just remember not to lift mid corner...Keep it buried...!

TGM? Any more info or is this a google issue.

I am in folkestone anyone have any local knowledge?

TGM is based at fleet in Hampshire http://www.tgmsports.co.uk/

CPL racing are based in Kent which will be closer to you, both are well regarded.

is it lowered? if yes I had this prob cos the camber was off so the inside of the rear typres were badly worn..

prob a bit of a long shot but will save you the money if it is the problem....

Shockingly twitchy after lowering, then fitted some spoon adjustable links and had a fast road setup and it is immensly planted now, evan right on its limit where all 4 wheels are on the drift, sorry slide, you cant drift a fwd car remember kids! lol

with coil overs, new rose joints, etc etc and laser alignment its about £1700. That usig decent stein coil overs. Other wise its about 380 for the alignment.

Eibach spring, front and rear camber bolts/arms and a geo setup by TGM etc will be around £500.

The difference is night and day, it really does transform the handling.

Saying that I like a bit of lift off oversteer!
