    i dont mean to burst your bubble, but braking mid corner in almost ANY car will bring the rear out, ESPECIALLY if youre at the top of a hill where the car is already a little light. stock srt4s have some of the bast suspension you can get on a car, at least from the factory. these will definitely help, but you should look into some autocrosses or track days.

    First off, the OP needs to learn how to drive a FWD. car gets sideways, GET ON THE GAS!



    Thats the dumbest shit I have EVER heard. They SUCK ASS stock....really. That is there downside. Lots of power but dont turn for shit. The suspension geometry is terrible. Talk to Stan Wilson about it, he will tell you the only thing they have going for them is power. They same with KC ST. They are not competitive at all. Just cant get them to turn.

    is true, i have a few friends that have been active in road racing for awhile and im going to go out to some track days with them and have them ride along and help me where i can be helped. like i said im a noob to it for sure and i dont have the best car for that type of racing by any means so im not trying run 1:10's or anything over there, i just want to go have fun

    im really happy to have these cause i can even out the rake of the car so its not so tail happy. its still a fwd car but with the rake these have from the factory with that heavy ass iron block the rear tends to slide around very easy.

    this suspension will just make the car safer, make it handle better than it does for the times i do go to the track and im able to fit slicks on the car for drag racing
