6N2 loss of traction

Post by KBM123 »

Hey guys,

I have a 6N2 1.0, a set of coilover's have been installed (i know, i know).

Ever since the installation of the coilovers i have been experiencing sudden losses of traction in the rain when going around corners. The steering suddenly gets light and i basically have no traction - bare in mind i am not a stupid driver, i drive sensibly.

Prior to the coilover installation i never experienced this.

Also the wheels appear to have almost cambered themselves, i have a feeling the issue may be because the full tire isn't touching the ground.

I know it may seem obvious but i feel i should get a second non payed opinion lol.

Thanks guys
kyle
