The last time I was up around those speeds I was cruising completely undramatically with two fingers on the wheel.
First thing to check is shocks and alignment. |

I brought the fronts down 1psi and it seems to have helped but I only got to the mid 80's. I'm going to need another opportunity with someone hauling ass so I can follow a bit behind and run them up to 95 or so to see if that does it.

I wouldn't mess around at that speed. If you aren't obviously rock solid then something is still wrong. Best wishes for a good conclusive fix.

There's only one way to find out Suspension bits appear to be alright but the car is almost 7 years old so I bet the bushings are worn and that's really what the problem is. I'll get to them at some point this summer when I have better cash flow, that heart attack and 3 months of lost income put a hurt on us. |

As sensitive to changes in tire pressure this car is, I can only imagine what worn suspension bits do to the handling. Keeps the sphincter in shape, at least.

Previously I had the Conti EC DWS and had to run them much higher (36/37ft and 34rr) just to get them to be stiff enough not to roll over in corners, these need to be lower (34/35ft) for stability at speed. |
