need input on how to get my FD to handle again...
hey there!
i put tien flex coilovers on her awhile ago, have it lowerd to tiens spec that comes with them, and have a kazz LSD. i dont like the way she handles. seems that there is little steering input at first, and then the more you turn the wheel it just wips around fast. makes it real hard to set up for corners and get the car to squat well through the corners. doesnt feel that there is much understeer or oversteer...except when the *** end comes out, man it is freakin gone! good luck trying to get that thing back. i almost lost the car cause ot it.
i'm sure it is just a alignment issue, so if anyone has any experience with this set up and could give me some set up guid lines. that would be much appreciated!
oh, i also have 18x8.5 in the front and 18x10 in the rear, if that makes a difference. i dont have any other drivline mods on her, other than what i listed.
i just dont feel like she handles as well as when it was stock. the ride is good, so it seems my spring rate and all that is pretty good, i just think it is all alignment.
thanks!

First of all, you need to get a complete alignment (and not a Midas job, a real alignment from a performance shop). The Tein Flex has good spring rates and your wheel size is already setup for understeer.
Sounds like you need to get an alignment and then work on your driving skills with stiffer springs. The stiffer the springs, the smoother you need to be.

If I remember correctly the Kaaz unit is set at 100% lock from the factory and you would want to rotate the discs to get less lock from the lsd. Im pretty sure this is what is causing you to spin out because your lsd is basicly in super drift mode, hahaha. I was unable to find the guide for doing this but below you can see the discs that you would need to play with to get less lock from the lsd.
