eliminating tracking

how does one go about eliminating or reducing tracking when lowering our cars? I have the typical setup: lowered on H&R sport springs, koni yellows, 16" tires, camber adj., front upper tie bar... my car still heavily follows the seams and grooves in the road... What do I need? more tie bars? new tires?

sway bars will stiffen it up a bit. you can do a lot. Stiffer springs, ES poly bushings, set your konis to stiff, etc

hmm.. yeah I was thinking about the sway bar.. specially the new one from neuspeed with the lower tie brace built in... little pricey tho.. gotta save up.... as for the springs.. ya think H&Rs aren't stiff enough? And, as for the bushings... those bushing replacement kits... what areas of the car does it replace bushings for... I've been really considering whether or not to do that... thanks..

I suggest the progress bars instead of neuspeed. Just as good and half the price. If vinh gets in here don't listen to him!

The bushings can replace your sway bar bushings and control arm bushings. I don't know the spring rates on the HRs, but you can probably go stiffer.

ya get narrower tires... sway bars arent going to do much for this... an upper front strut bar will give you more control.
