i have replaced all the suspension bushings, shocks, springs and sway bar endlinks... still tramlines like crazy, but man it can handle corners lol

guess i have to wait until the tires wear down :? then check the offset of the wheel, i bet that's what the major fact is, and they are wide

i remember driving my car all stock, i never tramlined much. but with race springs and gas shocks + suspension / chassis bars galore, it tramlines like hell.

what springs/coilovers are you using?

all pretty much brand new and a full energy bushing kit with the RTA's... i'm running 17's with 245/40's i think lowered about 2-3 inches

- Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:54 pm #126705 almost the same spring rates as mine. i got 8.7kg/mm front and 7.0kg/mm rear. what are the camber and toe settings? 'coz with -3.0 camber on mine, the car follows every little bump on the road. the toe-in also causes my car to hop a little (and to the side sometimes), but i kept it that way to lessen understeer.

i think that the lower and stiffer the suspension and the higher the tires' grip are, the more a car tramlines.

i actually just got my car aligned twice about a month ago, i have -.5* camber in the rear, toe is pretty much dead on +/- 0.5*, as for the front, it has about -1.0* camber and toe is dead on like within a half a degree or so. i even checked all my balljoints, only thing is that i need brakes up front cause the left one is warped i believe from the previous owner. i'm not running a camber kit and don't really think i need to, :?

yeah, i don't know much about my tires (Nexen N7000?) if they are grippy or not, but the car follows ruts and stuff pretty good, less now though because the bushings are finally settling.
