02 OZ rally, tein s-techs, front and rear strut tower bars, lower rear tie bar, stock rims and cooper tires . . . 120mph solid as a rock

 

i can do 80 with minor feel of dancing but over 80 and i am skating but i gotten use to it and learned how to compensate a bit.

 

same here...

maybe you need an alignment?

 

i think you need an alignment. i can take my hands off the wheel and the car will stay straight in its lane at 80mph. thats just springs and front strut bar on my OZ

 

I third that!

I used to drive an ES and it was kinda scary going anywhere over 100 cuz the steering response gets really bad at those speeds. Not to mention a b*tch load of body roll. If you wanna go that fast and keep the car glued to the road you have to get it closer to the ground, increase the downforce, and get stickier/wider tires.

 

Current Update:

I just got the all 4 wheels rebalanced and the guy said that u had FR and RR slightly bent. He said that they took care of it so now i am just waiting for the freeway to clear up so can go out and test it. Will let u know what happens......Cross u r fingers and hope for the best.

 

I also have this problem with my my lancer (04 ES) I notice at about 120 like you said it feels like im damn near flying. I'm thinking this has a lot to do with suspension though because a light car thats pretty far off the ground and going 120 without an anti sway bar or springs is most likely going to get a lil tilt in it from the wind passing underneath. I myself backed off at 120 because I didn't feel i had complete control anymore and I have gone over 150 in my old 95 eclipse, which to my knowledge is about the same weight, but it was lowered and that thing was glued to the road. My best guess would be to get the anti sway bar and get it lowered.

 

alright well im taking collections for a tein basic.. and the bars... PM me with offers... whats the bank on all of it? aboit 900 for the tein basic... another 300 bucks for all 3 bars... 4 if you go anti sway. front,rear,lower tie, antisway... maybe im drugged... but yeah... then i need someone to install the suspension for me.. cause theres no way im gunna fusk myself over for that.

 

we can get the RDD FRONT, REAR AND LOWER TIE all 3 bars shipped for $199.00.

Also RRM Sway bar w/ autcroos perches is about $239.00 + shipping. Total will be around $500.00 and than take it all to a shop and once and have them install it.

 

hahaha i dont think anyone would really need to have lower tie and strut braces installed by a pro... thats pretty basic.. unscrew bolt.. slap on... rebolt... take pic... post... smile.

 

nice how to on install

I have felt a little drifting at around 100+ but nothing major. I'm going to lower it, and buy front strut bar and rear tie bar and see if that helps any.

 

stock and no problems even @ 120+...felt a little sway on bridges on windy days though but i think the subwoofers in the trunk helped that

 

yeh, no problems here either.... I think you have a balance/allignment problem coupled with wind that moves the car a bit. The lancer is rather comfy at speeds. imo

 

Had it looked at today.. tires check out... alignment checks out... everything is AOK just like i told you guys... it is a bit windy in massachusetts...

 

Bad news, i drove it today and still the same problem. So now i am thinking either alignment or just RDD strut bars.
