Could be worn bushes, as they give an imprecise ride. Get it on a ramp and give everything a wiggle

rhys when ya brake hard does it sometimes yuank to one side, i found that my cossie used to do that and it was the passernger side shock being set on soft and the other on hard
that shit me up when i had to brake when a guy with a dog walked out in the road and when braking i was then swerving into him and the dog

I drove my RST properly for the first time in 7 months over the weekend, it too felt strangley floaty on the front end at times....maybe just forgot how it drove Although I have changed the rear bushes to deflex jobbies and the front has yet to be done, could be why.

Im getting this problem with my S2. I never used to get it, only started just recently. when flooring it or braking the front end is well floaty. Ive got konis on it, but think its the bushes or steering rack...

Rhys, Ive had the wheel off and can see the suspension adjuster is all the way to the bottom. As per my post on Bilstein coilovers its a common problem for them apparently... They unwind themselves after a long time. I dont personally see anything other then the suspension that could cause the front drivers side to drop bout an inch
The rest of the car feels solid and always has till its noticably dropped on one side. So Im putting it down to the suspension...
