4 wheel alignment = oversteer?

[JDMarron]

Hello all

Just last week I took my car down to my local tyre shop where they have this big fancy 4 wheel alignment and geometry set up. I wanted this doing as I've fitted coilovers and the car is naturally sitting a lot lower so I wanted to make sure my alignment was done.

The rear toe was well out on both sides so they adjusted it all, front and rear and Put it back to OEM settings (or at least the settings their fancy computer said) and ever since I've just been getting oversteer everywhere, even at low speed when trying to force it to step out.

Still running standard camber arms. Just had two new parada spec 2's on the front and running RE-01R's on the rear.

Can anyone suggest anything? Im thinking the Cusco diff coupled with fairly grippy front tyres won't be helping the rear be stable either?

You need to post your actual measurements otherwise without the same tyres on all four wheels you are at the mercy of the black art of tyre physics. Try swapping the tyres front to rear and see if it improves.

TGM near reading specialise in setting up geometry on hondas. They did an aggressive setup on my friends DC5

I think it is mostly down to the front tyres being much newer and much better than the bridgestones as I had a similar problem when I had new fronts put on with the old bridgestone rears.

The rear would wonder round on me without a warning! new tyres to match the front soon fixed that though. So I'd get on and change them as soon as!

They couldn't give me a print out of the settings as the printer wasn't responding so I need to go back and get it at some point.

To be honest I think I'm going to have to put it down to the rear tires bring different. Ive never experienced this problem before tho when running odd tires, but then again I've never been able to drive a car as fast through the bends as I can this one so maybe that's why it's becoming more apparent.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll get the rear tires done soon
