Improving handling question

[Dsun]

So i just had my front suspension refreshed with all new parts, CA/m3 CAB/tie rods/sway bar endlink/bushing. I am running H&R sport with billy sports. But i noticed at high speeds of 80 and + the car still feels a bit floaty, boat kind of feeling, the steering wheel(airbag wheel) just does not feel as tight/stiff and feels light.

What can i do to get it to feel more planted and stiff? Is it because my rear bushings are still shot?

I have not done my rear suspension yet and my subframe bushing/RTABS are toast. Is that the cause of the floaty feeling? I do feel the rear is pretty sloppy...

Having all parts in good condition is the first step. If you do that plus have good tires under the car try offset M3 CABs for higher speed stability.

what kind of wheel/tire setup you have in the front? also op did say he has m3 CAB. im automatically assuming they're offset

[Roysneon]

Ooops, guess that's what I get fr skimming the thread. Rtabs that allow the rear wheels toe angle to change will most certainly cause an 'unstable' condition.

throw the car up in the air and shake that thing down!
if it moves and it shouldnt, replace it.
have a friend hold different components and see if it goes away, check your wheel bearings.

What condition is the Steering rack, steering u-joint, steering flex disc?

Stiffer springs/shock re-valve, will also have an effect on this

[Dsun]

Yes m3 offset CAB

running ESM wheels 16x8 with yokohama S drive tires 205/55-16, tires are like new.

Steering rack is fine, it does leak a little from the hose, not sure on the steering u joint/guibo. How do i check those conditions?

the rubber piece on the right is the steering guibo. u joints are at the ends
btw that steering knuckle is customized to fit an e36 rack on an e30
