my new upgrades

Replaced H&R+Bilstien shock by PSS9 Ride height set at 13" F/R. damping at 4 F/R. No more floating around. Handling is much better.

Replaced Eibach Front sway bar by stock AMG. Trail braking tail drift is cured. But still 3 wheel a lot going up tight parking lot.

Replaced S-03 by new BF Goodrich G-Force Profiler. A lot more stickier. Still spin in 1st but not in 2nd and 3rd.

Replaced Style 4 by Style 5. Looks good on c32.

had a high speed test drive this morning, car still fish tail a bit when trail brake. This is what happens...

1) I took it up to 240kmh on the highway on the stretch of straight.
2) A 150 kmh turn came up, I floored the brake to slow down to around 170kmh before the turn.
3) I eased off the brake a bit and start turnning as I was approaching the entrance of the turn. At this moment the tail start to drift.

This is forcing me to brake eariler and eariler, and get off the brake earlier and earlier. My friends feel so scared following me...

I will try to reduece the front tire from 37 to 35, and reduce the rear damping from 4 to 6, and expriement again tonight.

Are you still running the aftermarket rear bar? If so, this will cause the problem you are experiencing.
