**** end skipping

Right before I start.

My car- 2001 WRX Lowered 50/60mm on 18s with profile 215/35/18 Kuhmo Exsta's

When I push the car instead of the rear kinda slipping out it feels like the car is skipping so you have ZERO control when it does this.

In my classic which was lowered 60mm on 17s when I pushed it hard into a corner you could control the way the car moved.

It feels like the Bug would kill me if i went really hard.

It has had new droplings on it.

Could it be because of the tyre profile (car came with them)
If I keep the car and dont get a Impreza Type R I will be putting coilovers on her - Would this help?

hello mate the tire profile when i changed mine to 18 inch on my newage impreza was 225/40/18,the specialist recomended 225/40/18 and my car handles really well on that profile on the toyo rubber but i did also get a four wheel lazor alignment which i know for sure definately sorted out the handling that is what i would recomend you to get done and also to have a good look around underneath at the suspension components to see if any damage or wear on droplinks bushes etc.i would recomend you do that before purchasing any new suspension components as you could fit them and still have the same problem or make matters worst.

Well the tyre profile is wrong for definate and the tyres are nearing the end of their life.
Never had 4W alignment done before.
Will get her up in the air one night this week and have a look.

Cheers
