Pulling into a driveway slowly, like 1mph, it felt like one of my rear wheels lifted off the ground. I remember reading about something like this awhile ago...

My rear tires come off the ground and I spin on driveways all the time?

Probably did. Stiff sway bar with stiff springs. Race cars don't traverse uneven surfaces well. I've almost gotten stuck like that a few times. Really nothing you can do short of returning one or more parts to stock. Maybe set your sway bar to a lighter setting if you can

Thank you for the replies.



Ok, so it's a symptom of my modifications. I just didn't want to have something that I could change keep being a problem. I have the mildly stiffer Perrin sways set at the softest setting.


I got to work, and did my first doughnut in years to get a feel of how easy it breaks loose. (I'm the first one to get to work, and my parking lot is private property)


@Sapphireho Yes, I have experienced that too, pulling out of the same driveway. ( the CFN station where I get Clear premium, and pump my own gas! LOL )

Just part of having a low stiff car with swaybars.

My FR-S with stock suspension does that too while backing up out of my steep driveway, allowing one wheel to spin a bit.

Of course, while backing up, that's the least of my worries -

I wanted to be more on the edge of my comfort zone... I miss how my S2000 drove. It was harder to drive near its limit. I feel that i've accomplished making my car harder to drive fast (more technical to drive) whatever, im happy.

I havent played with dampening much yet...

@Ashikabi How many clicks from hard (or soft) are you running your FA 500s for DD?

Full soft. Maybe a few in the front. The stiffer the front the less over steer I have. But too stiff like my Stance coils and it'll make your back hurt. At least that's how it was for me.

Thanks! I tried several different combinations of dampening front and rear, keeping the rear softer like you suggested. I'm at 1 click from full soft on the rear and 7 clicks from full soft on the front. I was halfway, 12 clicks on the front, but kept gradually adjusting it one back till 7.



This morning in the dark I pulled over at my rural fire station for a pic. There used to be "no parking" signs on every door... Guess when they painted the building red, they took them off... It used to be blue.
