Just had a 4 wheel alignment done on my CSVT. it's lowered with GC's/Konis, Stazi camber kits, Aussie bar,and spherical end links. WOW!  is all I can say. It flat out handles much better now and the arse end sure is tail happy  Doesn't take much movement at speed to get it to start movin around. This thing sure wants to oversteer 2 thumbs Up Stazi the bar and the camber kits are great!

The funny thing is. The other day I was driving down this road at about 60 nice twisty country road. The car was a handful because the alignment was off. Well after the alignment I was cruising down the same road smooth as silk and straight. I look down and I'm doing 80 whooops It was so nice and the road isn't recently paved it has that stupid tar with pee gravel crap on it  yes this setup is good stuff

Just remember...tail-happy cars bite their owners when they panic. You should find a safe place (say, an autocross) to induce lift-throttle oversteer so you can teach your brain to let OFF the brakes and even add some gas if necessary, to add traction back to the rear of the car, instead of its natural instinct which is to lift off the gas and/or stab the brakes when things get hairy making a bad sitution worse.

Hmmm... sounds like someone is finally falling in love with his car. Now when I stop by maybe I won't hear all the cursing and swearing about "that POS"

Yup the gas pedal is my friend now. Before the car would understeer, now it's great. I don't drive the car much but I am learning it more. Yeah I nee to go autox it and find the limits. I want to spin it anyways...well at least at the track. 
NOw hetfield you know I'll still curse it out just for you
