Wheels/Tires/suspension issues
I need some help trying to figure out some problems I am having with my 95 dx hatch. The suspension has always been kind of crappy and the axles hop, more like chatter, when I am going down the road. It get's much worse when going around a curve. I have 17 +42 now and am beginning to think the wheels can be the problem but I don't know how that can be. I lowered the car using lowering springs, new struts and camber kit. The chatter and slamming over bumps was unbelievable! I then swapped out the springs for some borrowed Skunk2 coilovers to diagnose the issue and it remained the same. I then installed LoTek short struts and eBay coilovers and still the same thing. Since the car has a much lower stance, I'm going with 15 +40 and replacing my 17 +42 and that's when I thought the problem might lie within the offset of the tires. I don't know why else the suspension would be so bouncy/slamming/axle hop/chatter with 3 different suspension set ups. I don't mind getting a good and expensive suspension but I don't want to buy one and have the same issues I have had on these past 3 set ups. Please help because I just blew my B18A and swapped in a B16 and would like to drive it a little more spirited but, with this suspension, I get concerned and won't tackle curves and driving faster than 85 because of the natural curves on a country 2 lane road. I'm ready to buy rims and tires but, before doing so, I wanted to make sure the offset couldn't some how be the issue.
Thanks so much in advance for any help!
