No, i got wheels and tires at the same time. The more i feel this swerve, im starting to think its something up front. I feel like maybe the swaybar upfront is loose or something. Gonna check this saturday.

I have a feeling it's inexperience in car control. It's usually too much speed then lifting abruptly mid corner. Snap oversteer

Mid corner? I swore i said as i exited the ramp. Just so you guys know, i use to have a s13, s14, 350z and a 600rr. I use to autox alittle and canyon run. Just alittle on my background experience. Oh and i forgot to mention, about 6 years of on and off drifting.

Would it be accurate to describe the motion as "darting?" IOW a sharp (but usually pretty small), uncommanded yawing motion. If that's true, it sounds like there is some play in one of the suspension locating links/bushings.. When you exit the corner and remove the lateral load it's "springing" back and making the car dart. Years and years ago, I had first a Chevelle SS and then a (first gen) Mercury Capri that would occasionally do something similar. In both cases is turned out to be worn/damaged control arm bushings. May not be the case here, but it's a place to start.

Raising BCs won't change bump stop engagement, but there are other implications of significantly lowering the car due to suspension geometry, roll centers, toe curves, aero, stressed bushings, etc and the 86s that are setup to handle aren't sitting crazy low.
Edit: I'm going to harp again on the rear camber, 3.4 degrees on the right rear, I've never put more than 2.7 or so, lots of camber = tramlining |

Ok guys, so i checked out everything on saturday. Installed rlca and got a new alignment. My car was still acting up. So i figure its gotta be the tires. Hankook v12 evo 2 suck balls. Those tires have given me problems from day one. Anyways i put my stocks back on and it feels fine for now. Havent tested on ramps or curves yet. Now ive run into another problem. When i steer hard left then right, vice versa. The bottom of the front endlink is hitting the lower control arm. Wtf is wrong with this car? I didnt have time today to raise it back up. Just had the alignment done today too. So next weekend ill have to raise it up 3/4 of an inch. Has anyone run into endlink hitting control arm?

Endlinks hitting the control arm is very common if the car is too low for the length of the end link. You either need a shorter endlink (or adjustable ones that go shorter), or raise the car up.

Alright guys, so i dont really wanna leave this unfinished. I took my car to toyota to get a diagnostic on the suspension. Came back the ball joints, especially the driver side is completely shot. So i just ordered buddy club flca. Should have it by this weekend and have it installed. Most of the other threads i researched, comes up incomplete and the OP never told us what was wrong. Hope this helps.

I'm curious to your review of these FLCA in regards to comfort and handling. They are pretty affordable for what they are. |

Glad you found the potential culprit. Even happier you lived to find it. One of those ball joints breaks in an 80mph corner and the result could ruin your whole day (and all the ones that might have followed).
