I believe this is a diss (FTL)??

Infact I have a LSD, problem I do have though is wide rear tyres (255 , me thinking that would be a good idea) and narrow at the front (205) , so when the LSD locks up I go forward no matter what steering input I make, really screwed the handling up. But need to waste the rear tyres before I\'ll pay out for new.

My old alloys were 205 all round, and drifting was a little (lot) easier

205 front, 255 rear, not a good combo, 215, 235 next time.

really want to eliminate that rear passive steering, but looks like a day job.

go for tesco value pizza, that\'ll save u some cash then can get coilovers :Giggle

nice work with the fc though :)

what some ppl do with lowering their cars is they cut the top of the suspension mount off and raise it.
this keeps the suspension operating as normal (might need to roll the arches to prevent rubbing the arches) n then car will be lowered.
but also depends if theres enough space to do this on the fc.
its just an idea :)

Racing beat actaully sell top mounts that do this. Just bolt them in
