Loss of Traction
I seem to not have a lot of traction in wet weather, even in dry weather it seems to be less. i bought a set of KYB's for all four corners to see if it was just worn out shocks. but i was driving last night and i let off the gas and turned left and my car seemed to understeer a lot to the point where i was in the next lane. it could be my tires are for dry only but i haven't looked at which one's i have yet. could it be worn out shocks and struts, because right now they seem to be soft. i bottomout on bumps in teh road to often than what i think i should.
youve got new konis, pretty much rule those out. first check your tires. dry only or bald, either one. the bottoming is most likeley worn out springs, or improperly lowered, or poor quality lowering springs. i would replace those. of course it may well be that you dont realize the wet weather characteristics of your caar, not to flame you or anythimg, but sharp handling performance cars tend to have wet weather shortcomings. but the bottoming is most likely youre springs.
