Leave the roll bars..Make sure there is not too much toe in the front. If the rears are toeing too much they will also cause understeer. Make sure the rears are straight, or if it's really bad and the front doesn't fix it , you can put a little toe out on the rear .

I think he said he has a Backdraft....that's BMW, The BMW suspension should go up and down without altering the toe, an alignment machine should fix it

I honestly do not understand why people that do NOT have a Backdraft and know nothing about a Backdraft post in a Backdraft thread.
It is no different than if I had a Mustang and went on a Corvette forum and started giving advice on the best suspension setup. Or a guy in a SBF engine thread asks for a good starting point to set his timing and a guy with a Porsche Boxster engine says my timing is set to this. How does that help? . Because your Factory 5, ERA, SPF, CSX..etc..etc. looks like a Backdraft doesn't mean a thing. If you have a BMW E36 you know more about how to setup a Backdraft than any other Cobra owner than a Backdraft Cobra owner.. And even then the weight dist in a BMW E36 is fwd bias and not rear bias. New Backdraft owners read a post from some guy posting in a Backdraft thread that has 2 billion posts and think that that person knows their stuff. Well that person has a solid axle FF5 and he is giving advice on a car he knows absolutely NOTHING about. |
It is the internet. Posters should be careful about offering specific advice. Readers also should be careful about following such advice.
...but you never know someone with a different car and different experiences might give you something to think about and solve your problem. |
Now, I do remember some of the elves at ERA telling me that rear toe-in is dialed in to help braking, or rather control of the car while braking, but I have never heard of one of our cars accelerating and creating toe-out, whether it's Jag based, BMW based, or Fred Flintstone's feet-driven car. Now, I suppose it could happen, I've just not heard of it, especially if you have squishy suspension components.:cool:

There are many things that affect balance, understeer and oversteer regardless of chassis.

Regardless, there are also many variables involved in setting up a car that are independent of the specific suspension - and which are common regardless of make, model or serial number. It is in this arena where I believe most comments have been directed. CC is no different than any other forum or social media site - you need to 'sort the wheat from the chaff' when choosing to accept or use any advice given. Stated another way: You usually get what you pay for. |

1. Bridgestone RE-71 2a. BFG Rival S 1.5 2b. Falken Azenis RT-660 I am currently running RE-71’s 18x10.5 fronts with 285/30/18 19x11 rears with 305/30/19. |
Alright. I'll begin with the nuts and bolts and work up from that point. I was trusting somebody would say, "Gracious, no doubt. Normal issue. This is the way to fix it."
On Sat, I was a piece disheartened with regards to how inadequately the vehicle took care of during the different activities. In any case, by Sunday evening I was really sort of happy. It constrained me to figure out how to oversee it. Assuming that the vehicle had dealt with impeccably, I probably won't have learned so a lot. www.omegle.fyi www.bazoocam.fyi www.chatrandom.one |
It still sounds to me too that the new tires in back are causing your imbalance.

Noticed that too Bob. I could compensate the under-steer by using a softer compound on the front and went up in size (275s). I'm running on 28psi, but still experimenting with it.
I'm experiencing a different issue though, which I had from the very beginning. I feel a steering delay from like 9 and 3 o'clock and have to steer further in (up to 6 o'clock to make the car go where i want. No, this is not under-steering, and I also already upgraded all components besides the rack (BD4). Does anyone experience the same? |
There are the mechanical links and fasteners on the rear suspension. You can dial in what you want but there will be some give in the tire sidewalls and no doubt a bit on your suspension linkages so actual settings will change slightly under flex from loading.
The thing about changing needed turning from 9 t0 3 sounds very extreme. It is hard to imagine how this can happen. |
