I don't know if this conditions, braking, suspesion...
I've noticed under some braking conditions that the car feels like it'll bite harder on one wheel, then shift to another wheel, then another, then another...almost in a circular motion. The result is that it doesn't feel "happy"...and like you should fight the wheel a bit. What causes this? What can fix this? To a point, I had this happen with other cars too, but, it wasn't as noticable. |

Mine does this too, I thought it was the VDC, and played with it a little, Then got sways and springs, and new tires... It is no longer an issue. Mine felt like for lack of better words "skittish" almost. Its more stable now. I have a base though.

I've got a base also and it happens to me every time I brake hard. I definitely have to grab the wheel with both hands and hold on for dear life. It almost feels like the car skids from side to side. Not a good feeling.

Modshack is completely right. Great Post Modshack! Another option is to notice these indifferences on the road and to drive a different line (shade a lil to the left or right) this will keep your tires out of the trouble areas and give you better more stable braking. I do it all the time and in racing terms your just using a different line to approach a turn entrance.
Boy in GA we have some bad ones thanks to MARTA and their heavy buses on every road... its like jumping a canyon wall in some places. Thats where taking a completley different approach to a turn really helps the dynamics of the car and allows you to enjoy the car on crappy roads.

It was when I was "stop testing" the car. I found out the car stops fast enough it's nearly an out of body experience. |
