Are these turns the same? On the twisty roads I go on, I can get my traction control to kick in easier on the right turns because my right turns are sharper than my left turns (driving on the right hand side of the road).

Also as others have mentioned, try driving with a same size passenger, it makes noticeable changes how my vehicle handles during turns because of weight shift.

And for me, regarding driver confidence, on a sharp right turn I'm not as afraid I'm going to swing my rear into a wall as my left rear is farther from the edge of the road than when I'm turning left where my right side rear is closer to the wall, again assuming right hand side of the road driving.

VSC and TC turn on automatically after certain conditions are met. Unless you get the @86Nanny the modes are temporary.


Here's a DIY on Zero Point Calibration. It's performed on a Toyota so maybe there's an explanation for our cars specifically out there.

One of the best experiences I've had with these cars was doing rear LCA's and correcting camber without touching toe.

Dropping a degree of camber without adjusting toe made the car truly undrivable as you passed 15mph. TCS light flashing over pebbles on the road, or the slightest of wheel movements.

Fix the toe, tweak the camber, fine tune the toe again, and the thing tracked straight and had more grip than it ever had.

A dash of toe in the wrong way can absolutely RUIN a car.

Untrue. Pedal dance resets when you restart the car.

Irrelevant, and nothing I said was untrue.

Pedal dance is a pain. He should IMHO just start with a Zero Point then go from there. @86Nanny is worth every penny and the new version coming soon has more features but both are meant for the track not street.

Maybe you wanna start with the simplest explanation: Right hand turns on the street tend to be shorter radius than left hand turns. At a constant speed the shorter radius turn will push tire grip closer to maximum.

There's no telling where you'll end up. That entirely depends on the angle of each corner.
