Traction Control Issues

Have you aligned the car?

Which I think is what you'll find to be the likely issue. You swapped out all of your suspension bits, for fancy ride-height adjustable coilovers during that flurry, and then proceeded to not align it or set the ride height correctly. That needs to be job numero uno after doing that.

Do that first, and just for everyone, this alignment isn't a job for your local MidAdvanceZoneBoys chain garage. If they aren't asking you what settings you're looking for, it's not the right shop. If they even seem hesitant about adjusting outside of what the computer says, it's not the right shop.

Sorry just got back to this post.

I have personally enjoyed "stiff" cars. Just my style I guess. I did have an initial alignment done. At this point, once the tires/rims come in ill get the 4 corner balance.

The shop I went to has/had/and does performance alignments, we started off with "stock" numbers, adjusted for my requirements, the car goes where it's pointed, had 4-5 buds drive it on the track and the comment I got was "dude get rid of the $h!t tires".

Ride height was adjusted
Toe was adjusted
camber was adjusted

**Note all the alignments were done on USED (My own use) stock tires, even the alignment shop told me to come back after getting new tires to "finish" the job correctly.

Yes Sir. WestEnd did the initial setup, going back for the 4 corner after new tires and rims.

Then see where you're at.

I think we can all agree you're not actually breaking traction in 5th, 4th and probably 3rd in a straight line.

100% Agree - I did the alignment, I need to do the Re-zero I just figured I would wait till new parts come in.

I definitely do not have the power to break 3rd/4t/5th lol. I know it's a misread from a sensor, configuration.

I'd highlight the specific parts of the post that give that away, but it's pretty much the whole passage.

Sorry don't mean to be dense but I don't understand your question.

[CSG Mike]

Can you get me a datalog when the TCS is going off?

Perhaps a bit harsh. But, the idea is that, with that info and some in your other posts, I don't think you can say that you did in fact get that alignment. You might think you did, you might have paid for one, but you didn't actually receive one. All of those things you report they adjusted? That should show what they were adjusted to. Not "stock" plus "adjustments for your requirements" Actual numbers on a printout. A specification.

The tires don't have anything to do with what direction the wheels are pointed. They're just along for the ride.

I get what you are saying. The reason why the details on camber,toe,caster were not added to my post was: I didn't have the actual sheet with the #'s and I didn't know that I should really add them to have a well-posted question. I personally feel there are better ways to point that out, and I am not a 17 year old with mom and dad money who goes to Jiffy Lube for an alignment.

West End is a widely known shop in SoCal that deals with a variety of cars, grocery getters to SLS MB's and tracked Porches. I'm pretty sure I picked a solid place since even Matt Farah takes his personal cars to West End. https://www.instagram.com/explore/lo...end-alignment/

What I think I remember is that the camber, and toe where adjusted including ride height from memory I am -1 camber all around with a 0 deg toe, I'll update my original post with the data from the sheet once I am home.

Saying that - I'll have the tires/rims on this week, have the shop check the alignment and ride height and update this post with more detailed information.
