Weird feeling when driving my car today
I took my Formula out for a drive today after not driving it for about two weeks. I decided to hit some country roads. My suspension mods are as follows: WS6 springs, Bilstein HD shocks, Spohn rear control arms, 32mm front swaybar with polyurethane endlinks, stock rear 19mm swaybar with poly endlinks, SLP strut bar, Hotchkis adjustable panhard rod, BMR subframe connectors, WS6 wheels with 275/40/17 Firestone Firehawk WideOval tires.
I was doing about 50-55 on one part of the road when a curve came up. It was probably a 75* bend with a slight slope to it. It was a right turn curve. When I entered the curve at around 50mph, the car drove fine. But as soon as the rear wheels entered the curve, it almost felt like the front tires lost traction a little bit and wanted to make the car oversteer slightly. Now I know I didn't hit a pothole, dirt/sand, and the road was pretty smooth. Let's just say it didn't feel like it "stuck to the road like glue" feeling. Almost scary at that one point, since 4-5 motorcycles where coming in the opposite direction. Could have easily have hit them if I didn't have a tight grip on the steering wheel and let off the accelerator, and being alert.
Is there something wrong with my suspension, or was it just a weird phenomenon that I haven't experienced before?
