Howdy everyone,

Anyone know how I can eliminate my front wheels sliding out in tight corners when I try to take them fast-ish??? My TG has tires with good tread, but the car isn't lowered...yet. Until I get the car lowered, anyone know what I can do to help my front wheels keep traction so my back-end can drift properly in tight corners???

Cheers,
JARhEaD.

Try winding in more negative camber on the front end, there's an article in the workshop that explains how to reverse the ball-joints to acomplish this.
