Spooky handling - solved
Since buying the car have always thought the car felt un-coordinated in some situations especially from the rear - with tramlining thrown in it could be eye opening at times.
Here is a tip if you have the same situation After gutter rashing a wheel decided to get a 4 wheel alignment - well what a difference! The guys said it was only slightly out - more in the front than the rear but it feels so much better now - huge difference and have not had that feeling of the front doing something different to the back since. The guys said they are very sensitive to alignment and wheel balance. If you have the same - then before doing the rear bushes get an alignment |

haha i read his comment like you portrayed it also at first, but what he means is rather then upgrading suspension components perhaps try an alignment beforehand as a poor alignment could be causing poor handling/driveability

You got it
Yes that's what I was saying - Start with an alignment first as I am no longer thinking I will do the bushes

I upgraded to 265 rear sticky tyres (Goodyear F1's) and I'm not happy with how it feels as the rear and the front suspension bushes are way too soft (I have noticed severe feathering of the outer tread blocks on the front tyres as the front suspension cannot maintain the correct geometry under sever loads- I need to get my M3 sussy gear installed!) |

Rear M3/1M bushings make a huge difference in how our cars drive. I was amazed on how those four rear bushings impacted the front suspension. Dackel's replacement of rear suspension OE bushings with M3 ones… http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=638163 There is also a rear suspension link thats pretty flimsy. I think my next step is to get all the M3 suspension bits.

Regarding some other links you have in your rear subframe review thread about upgraded manual transmission mounts what advantage do these offer? |
