Better Traction
#17
Show us a video of this. There is no way your car is busting sideways when your already going 30. Especially if you have an automatic. Video or it didn't Happen.

You're alignment is probably put of stock specifications. That could cause the squirrelliness. Also be careful with dropping tire pressure too low and adjusting only the front or rear ride height. depending on the situation (I.e non straight line) this could worsen the traction and other handling characteristics like weight transfer (I.e. Roll). Sorry about the iPhone punctuation.

You could try lowering the PSI in the rear wheels a bit as Eric@TCGMiami suggested. Or put some of that weight back in.

^^ agreed. listen I autox my car. Nothing major done to it, i got exahust, hfc, and a few other bolt ons, and for my last autox i took my rear seats out and stripped all that i could and i havent put any of it back in yet bc... well i just enjoy it haha. But at no point was i even close to getting sideways unintentionally. I would love some documentation of this. otherwise to answer one of your previous questions you can run up to 275s in the rear on stock wheels. and yes, it also matters more on what type of traction you arent getting. Some fatter tires would solve the issue your having, that is if there are no other issues bc honestly dude without FI youre not breaking the tires from any mph over 10

Well there you go, you've taken a lot of weight off the rear wheels. You don't have enough weight on the drive wheels to provide enough traction for the power you've got. That's the same reason some people with rear wheel drive put sandbags in the trunk for snowy/icy conditions.

Sounds like he's dropped without alignment and has too much toe. But clarifying what has been done would have stopped all debates about everything a looong time ago.
If you want more traction, tires and alignment are the most important thing. After that, I'd say struts are the next most important factor.
