i haven't got a clue why but ,
when i got round islands in a hurry my outside wheels spins up like a nutter .
hate to say it but i got a ka as a stand by motor , for when the corsa's playing up n thats not really got the energy of the corsa but it's quicker overall a to b and on islands it handles for a little tin can with no spin
any ideas ?
thanks

yeh drive slower.
but if u wanna drive fast and stop it spinning then u cud get a decent lowrering kit with springs and shocks and some nice, wider wheels with high quality tyres

already got some momo corse's 15's the tyres aren't expensive sticky ones like toyo's . I think they're as wide as you can get at 195 /45 without rubbing . have been considering the lowering option cuz i think the top mounts have had there days now . the drives getting floaty on the front . just thought do the hole lot if the shocks are coming off . joints , bushes , tops mounts , shocks n springs .
it never spun up when i got the wheels about a year ago , only the last couple of months . its confusing me

It will be down to your style of driving, i can throw my car around a corner with stretch tyres on and it goes where you point it, even before i lowered it on coilovers i could do the same on cheap tyres so your driving must be at fault unless the suspension is completely stuffed.
