Hi,
It's been some time since last posting here and purchased a rear then front PI sway bars from Bowman85merc.
I'm been having a handling problem after installing the rear PI sway bar, though not really fair to blame the PI sway as it may be the driver::
On wet streets the car fishtails and rear tire spins more than I remembered before. And stopping is a challenge as the front tires skid.
Maybe it's the tires. Tires have full like-new tread, albeit they are nearly 10 year old Vogue's. P225 in front, P235 in rear (both are 60R16).
I heard on a Vogue Tyre forum that the treads on these are hard (a composite), in comparison with say Michelin.
Maybe it's the fact my daily driver is a Mazda3, and drive it with a heavy foot since it goes nowhere when the pedal is dropped. Then when I drive my BigWhite, the torque wins (driver issue).
When stopping on a wet surface, the front discs appear to lockup and slide. Just tonight while going to a local gym, I merged into a center turning lane going about 15-20mph, I braked the tires slid (sliding towards median) so I gassed it making a left turn and fish tailed like the Dukes of Hazzard. Then driving home fish tailed three more times -- in a not funny way like oil was on the road/tires. I touched the tires and they felt/smelled clean.
Any ideas?
