Right, its on a3dr ....
It has AVO coil overs on all corners all set to the hieght that i want, "not on the floor"..All the same turns and measured to be the same...Front is all polybushed.Rear isnt as yet, and is set on the softest setting...
The car feels like a bag of shit at speed feels like the back end wants to step out when cornering long bends not sharp... car feels unstable seems to wonder over the road, it seems you are having to correct the steering all the time????.. Have tried the rear on all settings and feels worse as it gets harder.. Could this be to the front being so tight and the rear having standard bushes rubbers etc, could this cause the car to drive the way it does???

Help needed asap as the bloody thing wants to kill me at speed its not fun, trust me..

OH and how do u get the flipin icons up cant do it....

 

I doubt it would make it feel like that just because the rear isnt pollybushed.
Have you had the geometry set?

 

i think its coilovers mate. They totally fucked up the feel and handling of my 3dr too. Im actually thinking of going back to Koni's on decent springs......

 

The rear end will definitely feel loose when you go harder on the bump and rebound when you leave the front relatively unchanged.

But as per AJ, need to have your geometry looked at first, this will have more affect than the coilovers alone!

 

Have you sorted out the crap geometry that is std on the 3 door/sapph ?
Get a set of adjusty rear arms or failingt that a set of shims from mike r(R&B), they do a LOT to help, correct the natural toe out of the rear, easy to fit and about Ł10.
What tyres are you using ?, you will without doubt need to poly the rear end, the beam bushes move about, as do arm bushes, the diff mount is a complete joke even when new.
You have a nice slop free front end being followed by a wild child rear end, it will feel as you describe, one of the bigegst drawbacks of the 3 door is the stupidly small rear roll bar, I fitted a 2wd sapphy one on mine(xr4i) after welding brackets on the arms, world of difference.
AVO do in my opinion use too stiff a spring for the road, they have a policy that if you are unhappy with the NEW coilovers, they will change the springs ONCE FOC for you, so worth ringing.
