Lifting/floating/pulling at high speeds😳

[4seaer]

I’m lowered it on HKS adjustable springs about a quarter inch lower than the factory setting they send them out, done an alignment from local speed shop very good reputation and noticing some type of lifting floating or pulling at high speeds, anybody have any similar situations or advice?

you're going to have to be more specific. Lifting and pulling are two very different things. Are you implying the front end feels unstable and floaty?

Yes, very unstable very unsafe. It just feels like it wants to go wherever literally.

is it while accelerating to a high speed or cruising at high speed?

I can feel it if I steer back-and-forth just driving normally down the road; feels like there’s a body roll, and when I’m accelerating on the highway there is a pull to either direction under hard acceleration and when I’m over 100+ it just feels like it’s all over the place very unsafe

I am also on a 10 1/2 inch 285 wheel in the front and an 11 1/2 inch 305 wheel on the rear

I was lowered on RSR lowering springs, about .8 inch drop. Street driving was fine, taking a turn/corner felt nice.

But I noticed on freeways (here in Southern California), when at speed and a rough road ahead, the car did feel bouncy or floaty so I would slow down over these parts of the freeway.

Promptly switched to KW DDC coilovers and the car feels great on the freeway and streets. It's important to remember, OEM shocks aren't meant for aftermarket lowering springs.

As far as your pulling issue, never had that issue that wasn't caused by bad alignment.

You probably shouldn't be doing 100+ on public roads btw.

I’m looking into the suspension, buddy of mine is telling me my safety system stopped working, and the fact my car does not recognize my 20 inch wheel, He says it’s possible that is thrown off the technology and making it do weird things. I don’t know where to go with that but that’s why I’m on here trying to see if anybody else had a similar situation.

1. That alignment sucks
2. Did you swap the stock wheels back on to rule out it tramlining due to the wider tires?
3. Try slowing down on public roads before you kill people.

I'm on H&R lowering springs, Stock suspension, 19 inch wheels and a ducktail Spoiler.
Car feels stable at the factory speed limit (250 km/h) on the autobahn in sport mode.
Alignment wise i have a bit of toe in at the front and rear.

why do you keep ignoring all the answers? you posted this crap alignment the other day. take it to another place to get the alignment done right.

Because of all the gay ass replies I keep getting nobody’s doing a better alignment than that speed shop around here, you think Meineke is gonna do a better alignment. Haven’t ignored any answers, haven’t gotten any answers really other than more gay people talking about slow down buddy, maybe if more people are willing to give an actual answer to a situation they actually had with themselves I’d reply, what I get is a bunch of wannabe racecar drivers who think because they go to the track here and there but yet have not had this experience telling me what they think it is or might be based off of their so-called mechanical inclined abilities. I am waiting for somebody Who’s had the experience to tell me what their experience was in working it out, actual help. people like you are what fuck up these communities coming in here with your fucking gay ass responses and stupid shit.

And please, Mr. alignment master feel free to break down my shitty alignment and tell me what’s off. But before you do, please show your credentials of your alignment mastery…
