Default Type r handling

Just wondered if anyone else gets same prob ? When I really push hard in to bend or round about it feels like the rear end skips and just doesn't feel positive at speed at all really ? The only handling mods I got is tein coilovers just height adjustment . Would these being to stiff cause this ? Cheers rob

If you set the dccd to locked 4x4 it could be that, thats causing the car to kinda jump. I always have the dccd set to max rear.

If I set mine to max rear I can get the back sliding too much. I just move it 1 or 2 forward and it's great. Mine doesn't seem bad at all. Just on standard shocks with springs

Agreed, should feel really solid even in the wet 2 clicks forwards. yes alignment on these means everything..

Could be anything from the lowering to the rear diff or the position of the center differential settings, best thing to do is take the car to a decent subaru garage and get her set up properly and ask for advice to see if you have any other issues with the diff.
