    So I've been experiencing a very wierd problem with my e30 lately .

    When I make a full turn to the left , my car will pull left after straightening out.
    Same goes for making a full or hard turn to the right .

    Advice or answers highly appreciated .

    More updates , I got tired of seeing stretch so I decided to trade my STR's for
    Avid turbos.

    Coilovers ?

    So , I removed both of my strut housings and cut the perches in prep for a suspension setup I bought from " Achtunge30 "


    I then Tac welded a little support under the collar to insure maximum safety ;D

    I know , I know . Your asking yourself "why would he buy a used JOM suspension ? "

    And my answer to you is , " this was to good of deal to pass and these should do me fine till summer."

    I know they are not GC's , but they are a lot better than my previous setup.
