I had my turbo up at 140 a couple of weeks ago and it felt amazing. I had no play in the wheel that i can remember, and i know i could of gone faster Recently though, i've noticed at speeds around 90+ the back end is feeling light in the rear like lorax said at first i think. The only thing i can really think of is that my front suspension is much stiffer than my rear... would that make it feel "lighter" in the back?

I would imagine so? How much stiffer are you talking about?

I'm running the koni adjustable struts up front with 250lb springs and the stock in back... i think there at like 3/5 for the stiffness. worked great at my last auto x... not so great when your oversteering at 90 on a back road

Yeah, just don't do it in a perfectly good tech thread.

Moving on...
