Boatiness feeling?

Boatiness feeling?

Postby Akfahad » Sun Jan 04, 2004 8:45 am

well, i just put on my rims, 18x7.5 and i've already noticed a big difference. not to mention the car handles like nothing i've driven before, but when i make quick turns it feels like the rear end of the car takes some time to catch up. It feels like it sways around a little. anybody experience the same thing? Just wondering what it would be and if there was anything to correct it. thx

yep. you're experiencing "body roll". get a TRD sway bay and it'll all go away.

Also, with the TRD sway bar there are 2 settings, street (the lower holes at the end of the bar) and strip (the higher holes closer to the cross bar). I would strongly recommend the strip setting. -JoeB

i would suggest going on the easier setting first. learn the car's reaction, then when one gets used to the new found traction, go to the next.

Thats what i did.. I took Mikes advise.. i went with street for about 6 weeks then changed to strip and you can tell a difference.. I get less body roll now.... and i can take turns much faster and sharper...

just becareful when testing the limits on your car...
