I'm not sure if this is actually happenning or not, but:

Going around slow corners, esp. left (10-15mph) the front of the car seems to wallow down to the outside front corner. It is as if the tyre on that side is very soft. Checked tyre pressures though, and still at 36.5psi.

I don't know if the car has always been like this, and it is only just the last few days that I have noticed it, but thought I would have a check and see if anyone had any ideas.

Car: std MY00 with 17" wheels

Hi Robertio

Not surprised you get the "wallowy" feeling.
I spoke to Mike Wood some time back about upgrading wheels and he recommended changing the suspension first before fitting 17's. Because the car already had 17's when I bought it I didn't notice anything untoward, but BIG BIG difference now i'm on 18's, the handling is like a boat!! It feels as if the tyres have 5psi in them. I'm due to fit Bilsteins on the car over the weekend and all being well I can let you know the outcome.
