does anyone elses car handle every sloppy in the rain almost like hydroplaning

 

It may not be the car itself , it may be your tires. If it is the car... perhaps a few worn out suspension components (perhaps bad lower ball joints or etc).

What tires are you running?

 

My car handles great in rain as long as I don't give it too much gas.

Check the tires and is your traction control on?

cheap tires can destroy the performance of an amazing car. Provide tire info (brand/model/size) in order to pinpoint potential upgrades from there.

hope that helps,

I have removed the power steering sensor to add more "road feel" and this greatly increase my wet handling. But this will not increase traction... But I can feel the traction more.

 

i allways have traction off.......I have goodyear eagle f1 all season tires(which r beat up) tmrw i go 2 get set of 4 breand new ones and a wheel allighnment we shall c if the problem is fixed >> also my front off my car has dropped lil lower 2 where there is no space between tire and fender during turning>>does this mean the have broken inn suspension i got eibach springs and bilstien struts 25000 miles ago..

 

That's your problem... Eagle F1s are terrible. Upgrade to a proper set of real performance tires (like a Dunlap Direzza Z1) and your car will totally transform.

Your lower ball joints & upper control arms may be worn out too which can cause that as well. Until you repair these two components there is no point in doing an alignment b/c it will immediately get out of spec the second you start driving down the road. Its not your springs / shocks (although those do settle over time, that's not why you are rubbing while turning, its b/c your suspension geometry is complete out of whack due to worn steering components).

Hope that helps

 

i was just wondering about the springs settling making sure nothing wuz broken>>>i agrree with u on my suspension components being out of wak i just wish it wasnt so>>i use these tires cuz the threadwhere is sick and i got ill hook up $400 4 tires and allignment cant go wrong... im bout 2 go and get the tires now ill let u know how car acts when i get them...

 

Why in the world would you ever roll around with traction off? And you're complaining about wet traction?

These systems are meant to save you in case of driver error or loss of traction. Hopefully you don't do it just to see the orange triangle in your dash.

You're driving a 4k pound Autobahn cruiser not a WRX.

 

Can you point me to the location of this sensor so I can give it a try? Thanks.

 

lmfao...y not..traction controle is mad annoying

anyways i just got tires and alignment and everything seems 100 percent

 

If you really drive aggressively enough to need traction control off all the time, I'm glad I'm not in the same state as you, let alone the same city.

 

Maybe with you **** in your pant you will make traction control your best friend cause the best tires in the world is not going to save your assss when your car fish tail out of control.

 

Once you really start adding quite a bit of HP/TQ traction control becomes your best friend. As peter said, even with best tires and best driver these cars can snap at when you least expect them to.

 

True you guys are right....it has kicked out on the highway pretty crazy and it is tail happy, but as soon as i start car i push that button right before i put it into first ..i cant drive with that **** unless the weather is insane out.....does anyone else on this forum drive in tipronic all the time

 

No! Don't see the point .. Do you think it makes your car faster?

 

There is absolutely no point to shifting it yourself. The car isn't faster, you get worse gas mileage, it just doesn't make sense.

How old are you?

 

true about gas mileage..but swear u dont get a good jump on people during a 50 roll...why wait 4 it 2 down shift shift when u can already have in the gear u want... i stay next 2 e60 m5 and m6 allday...i destroyed my boys 550hp supra all cuz i got that same jump they do...and my cars stock exept 4 springs struts and sway bars..

 

damn what kind of gas you using ? you sure your not spraying a 100lb bottle ?
