Default Wobbly handling?

MY00 and the handling doesn't feel right, I'll try and explain, its a MY00 has recently new Eibach springs, KYB AGX shocks, all the whiteline goodies, new Eagle F1 tyres, Powerstation geo and bumpsteer mod, yet when I do a gentle zig zag driving motions the car feels like its on jelly, also noticed when driving fast round sweeping bends and brake hardish just feels wobbly!! Really dont know why, seems like something is worn, but Ive uprated most things this year. I think it could even be the Eagle F1 tyre walls are not strong enough, hence the on jelly feeling.....any ideas?

Strange ! What precise type of F1s did you get ? Should be 87 load rating or 91 for sufficient stiffness.

bloody hell - see my thread on 16 - 17 inch wheels.

Are the new GSD3s made in Germany or China?

Made in Germany so they Euro Spec, but the load rating is 83Y, which I think is not strong enough

no they aren't - I asked Goodyear what the lowest load index should be, and they told me 87, but ideally higher.

As above: you need 87y!

Should feel very good with that set up!

Cheers guys for the info, looks like I'll have to get some 91Y. I was after a new set of alloys, may as well get a package deal now!

What pressures are you running?

Try putting some more air in to see if it makes a difference.

I could always try a bit more toe-in if it doesn't suit your driving.
