Exclamation Handling problems

I just put new 215/45/17 on my turboII and it seems that it kicks out easier. I'm not looking to do drifting on the streets. I dont want more than 300 whp either. but I'm thinkin about suspention. Rb down springs. I read up on the mk1 coilovers and there completly out of the question. what do some of you guys have? I dont want to go into the 1000's with money but throw anything at me and I'll look it up. Thanks dudes

What did you have before? I have 225's on mine and it kicks out really easy in corners. I think its a tire compound issue though.

+1 it may just be the tires. You didn't specify, and they could well be some pretty unremarkable tires.

Suspension upgrades won't cure the basic problem of the tires not providing enough grip to start with, but if you want to spend some money, spend it on shocks and bushings first. Springs on weak old shocks and soft old bushings won't be that great, but the stock springs on good shocks and bushings will be better.
