i have the same prob with mine. currently have 15' and 50 series also.
and also under braking it wants to go all over the road. could this be
atributed to the same thing. i'm also thinking that i need some sort of
adjustables on the front to also help with toe in and camber, is this true.
my car is quite low, not exactly sure by how much but body ground clearance
is only 8cm behind front wheel and 13 cm in front of rear wheel
